This portfolio complements my CV by showing details of teaching assignments, projects and outcomes achieved during my educational career. Portfolio chapters can be browsed chronologically under Work, and my research profile is on Google Scholar.
I hope that this sample of artifacts and accompanying narratives helps you to see me as someone with broad experience in education: as a teacher, as a team member and, when needed, a leader who can get hands on with the tools and processes. It should paint a picture of someone who seeks out opportunities to work in real time with faculty and students, who treats new technology as a design problem rather than a threat, and who measures the work by what learners can do afterwards.
