Hello, everybody! Thank you for stopping by my portfolio page! It is a work-in-progress, so please feel free to check back every now and then.
In the meantime, this home page features a few images from my world covering the period from the time I first took on the role of full-time educator at the University of Central Missouri back in August 2014 up to the present time. These images include our students in action, things from my doctoral experience, class-related items, and classrooms (both before and after upgrades) that I had a part in creating.
I enjoy collaborating with colleagues to develop amazing student experiences like you see pictured below.
Click on the images below for a closer look. Also, some images have descriptions.

My team (#5C) of doctoral students spent a big chunk of the summer analyzing a wicked problem. As part of our final presentation, we offered an executive summary and flyer that I designed.
