Creativity is essential for memorable and effective learning experiences. As an educator with eleven years of college teaching experience, I ground all my teaching and learning materials in this idea while continuously exploring new methodologies and technologies with which to develop learning opportunities. Whether using the Articulate 360 suite or making illustrated comics, I design accessible and eye-catching materials that reach their intended audience.
Authored in Storyline 360, this is a personal professional development practice module. Using boiling line animation ("squiggle vision"), the learning module explains the odd nature, logic, and implementation of one of baseball/softball's most esoteric rules: the Infield Fly.

"Neo-Springfield Is About to E*X*P*L*O*D*E" is a comics essay that examines the nuclear histories of The Simpsons and Akira through the lens of Bartkira, a transnational remix comic that mashes together the original texts. Using the comics medium, this essay introduces remix and transnational theories for readers unfamiliar with those theories, as well as the unique Bartkira production.
The "Project Concept Statement" is a learning course that I developed for Vanderbilt students exploring the Innovation, Arts, and Design pathway for their Immersion Vanderbilt degree requirement. Authored using Rise 360, this course teaches students the purpose of writing a project concept statement, how to write one, and when to rewrite the document.
"Crafting Your Creator Statement" is a micro-learning opportunity authored in Rise 360 for Vanderbilt students on the Innovation, Arts, and Design pathway for their Immersion Vanderbilt degree requirement. Based on the principles of an artist statement, this module encourages students to view themselves as creators and instructs them on how to craft one for personal and professional use.
A comics essay exploring adaptation theory, chiaroscuro, and affect through the lens of Two Brothers, Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá's adaptation of Milton Hatoum's The Brothers. Currently, a work-in-progress, Adapt-O-Tron's purpose is to introduce one valence of adaptation theory to audiences unfamiliar with the topic.
