Innovative Teaching
I am elated to be working with my creative and supportive teammates at the Center for Innovation in Teaching & Learning (CITL) at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign! I am helping faculty who teach online to develop their strategies for effective instruction, student engagement, and course management. I hope to continue to develop effective resources and programing to address the evolving teaching and learning needs at UIUC.

The Center for Teaching Excellence will always feel like a second home to me. There, I learned that when teamwork is continually nurtured there are an infinite amount of possibilities for motivation and creativity. My postdoc experience taught me how to deeply and broadly examine the effectiveness of a new-faculty professional development program. I also learned how to productively connect with other departments across the university for new collaborations.

I got my start at the Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence and will always remember how my colleagues took me under their wing and showed me the ropes! It was there that I learned about facilitating effective workshops, listening intently during consultations, and creating productive online learning experiences. I also discovered how to create accessible ways that faculty and graduate assistants could engage with with programming.
