I am an Instructional Designer/Technologist in the IT - Educational Technology department at Michigan State University where I help improve course design by integrating technology and accessibility, while offering technical support and training for all instructors and students. When I'm not resolving service tickets, meeting with instructors, or leading workshops, I create Magic ETL data flows in Domo Analytics to query the Brightspace data sets from D2L. I have also updated the HTML content templates with JavaScript to add interactive knowledge checks.
I earned my PhD in Linguistics at the University of South Australia, where I taught introductory French and linguistics courses in the multimedia laboratory and online. I previously taught English as a Second Language in France and the United States, was the assistant editor of an academic journal, and developed e-learning materials for a language learning website.
