Education and history have always been a significant part of my life. I received my
B.A. and M.A. in History from the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, an M.A.
in Education, Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Phoenix, and am currently
completing coursework for a Ph.D. in Education, Learning, Instruction, and Innovation
from Walden University. I am passionate about OER (Open Educational Resources), innovative
learning, technology-based learning, and skills-based learning.
I currently live in Colorado Springs with my husband and two dogs, Irene and Nibbler,
one cat named Salem, and a pigeon named Pig. I love to travel, visit museums, and
crochet!
I worked in K-12 as a Library Technology Educator for six years. I have been a History Instructor for CCCOnline for five years, and started teaching at PPSC in the History department in Fall 2023. I currently work both as a History Instructor and as the Learning Resources Coordinator for Colorado Online. I also serve on the Board of Directors for the Open Education Conference.
