I've lived everywhere from New York to California, but these days I call Michigan home. I'm an Associate Director at the University of Michigan's Center for Research on Learning and Teaching and the founder of The Pedagologist. My work takes me to campuses and conferences across the country, where I deliver keynotes, facilitate workshops, and help institutions navigate complex educational challenges. I've developed faculty development programs, contributed to scholarship on teaching and learning, and created frameworks to help educators critically engage with generative AI. I've also served as a faculty mentor for AAC&U's Institute on AI, Pedagogy, and the Curriculum and was named one of EdTech Magazine's Top Higher Ed IT Influencers to Follow. My path into educational development wasn't exactly conventional. I earned my Ph.D. in Medical Anthropology studying how college students navigate the pressures of academic success, including their use of Adderall to enhance performance. My anthropological training continues to shape how I think about education, from the expectations we place on students to the assumptions we make about what counts as success. These days, I bring that same curiosity to my work on generative AI, inclusive teaching, and educational change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f541e14c4f285361ef112bd/1603677483457-SQW1Y0PXFFZ9GQOMC152/Defense.jpg About My anthropological training taught me to question what we take for granted and look at the bigger picture before jumping to solutions. I studied the pressures and expectations surrounding academic performance, and that curiosity continues to shape how I approach teaching and learning. Here is a photo of my defending my disseration on “The Moral Life of Adderall: Health, Empowerment, and Responsibility in an Era of Pharmaceuticalization” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f541e14c4f285361ef112bd/1603677439083-IS262RJEGCXPFXE4UA3D/Athlete.jpg About I've always loved team sports, especially soccer and rowing. There's something wonderful about working toward a shared goal with people who bring different strengths to the field. Sports have taught me about collaboration, leadership, and the importance of finding joy in a challenge. And yes, I can get a little competitive! Here is a photo of me and my team winning the 2016 University of Michigan Intramural Soccer Championships. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f541e14c4f285361ef112bd/1603677390202-DC0Z30EDIO8ESOAVJM7A/Rowing.jpg About I've coached rowing at Michigan State and helped people of all experience levels discover what they're capable of. Coaching taught me that supporting someone's growth isn't about telling them exactly what to do. It's about understanding their goals, recognizing their strengths, and helping them develop the confidence and skills to move forward. Here is a photo of me and my rowers from our "Learn to Row” summer program on graduation day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f541e14c4f285361ef112bd/1603677293549-NVCQTGVV0HS5618NBEWM/Performer.jpg About I come from a musical family and have always loved performing. Whether I'm singing with a rock band or delivering a keynote, there's something energizing about connecting with an audience. My experiences onstage have shaped how I facilitate, tell stories, and bring a little humor into serious conversations. I believe learning can be both intellectually challenging and genuinely fun.
