Biography

My primary role in the Learning and Performance Systems Department is as the Program Coordinator for Learning, Design, and Technology Online Programs, where I coordinate the efforts of my faculty and staff colleagues with the delivery support provided by Penn State World Campus. In addition to program administration duties I am deeply involved with program and course development, and I recruit, advise, and teach our students.

I am originally from Albion, New York, and I have lived and worked in educational program design and administration in Malvern, Pennsylvania, Columbus, Ohio, Casper, Wyoming, and now University Park, Pennsylvania. My volunteer engagement with the community has been focused on supporting youth development and youth experiences outdoors.
