About Me

I am currently a graduate student studying Learning Technologies and Design here at Mizzou. I also work as website and app support for a ground transportation company, assisting clients with their troubleshooting needs. Previously, I taught computers, 3D Modeling, and app development for two years to 5th-8th graders and literature and language arts to 6th graders for an additional three years.

I have always been passionate about technology innovation and enjoy sharing my passion for tech innovation with my fellow colleagues. I am a firm believer that all students can become passionate learners with the right motivation. I believe gamification is one of the best ways to find that motivation. I believe that all video games have some form of educational value. My favorite game would have to be Skyrim. I enjoy any RPG that has a wide selection of side quests. Skyrim can keep you busy for years and I can safely say I learned a multitude of skills from Skyrim alone.
