As Associate Director of Learning Technologies & Design at the University of Calgary’s Taylor Institute, I lead teams of experts who work at the intersection of pedagogies and technologies, navigating the complex ways they influence and shape each other.

My recent PhD work explored how video game design principles can improve our understanding of teaching and learning—an approach that reflects my interest in bridging disciplines to solve educational challenges. I currently co-chair committees on learning technologies and spaces, and serve on working groups wrestling with generative AI adoption and policy, all while remaining thoughtfully conflicted about most new educational technologies.
