What is your favorite part of your job?

My favorite part of being an instructional designer is supporting faculty to create meaningful student experiences that transcend the classroom.

Prior to CELT, I worked at St. Johns University as an instructional designer (2024) and Farmingdale State College as a support administrator (2020-2024) providing support related to aspects of distance education including: faculty and student support, course design best practices, teaching and learning technologies.

Coffee or tea?

This is a hard one, hmmm … coffee!

Where would you like to visit (real or fictional)?

Anywhere there’s a beautiful beach and warm weather but if I had to choose, Fiji is on the top of my list!
