I am an educational technology and web development professional living in Boston.
My current job is working as an instructional designer at Boston College where I help faculty use technology in their teaching. In this role I regularly consult with individuals and groups around campus, facilitate workshops on teaching-related technologies, and manage a wide variety of web development projects.
I have a B.A. in English from Wheaton College (IL) and a PhD in English from Boston College (2009). My dissertation research focused on blogging and how writers use new media to help foster a deeper sense of place. I have presented papers on technology and pedagogy at NERCOMP and NMC Conferences, Mobile Learning in Higher Education (NERCOMP SIG), the International Conference on Teaching and Learning, and the Conference on College Composition and Communication. I've published essays have appeared in Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy (Fall 2005), Coming into Contact: New Essays in Ecocritical Theory and Practice (2006), and Locations of Composition (2006).
My ongoing interests include interface design and usability, open source software, social media, Drupal, and mobile technologies.
