Online Learning Director
Strategic leadership in online education. Advancing innovation, quality course design, and student success through evidence-based practice, faculty partnerships, and purposeful action.
Areas of Expertise
Building systems, dynamic teams, standards, priorities, and partnerships that make high-quality online learning sustainable.
Turning outcomes, content, assessments, activities, and technology into coherent learning experiences built around action and application.
Helping educators translate expertise into online learning through consultation, coaching, clear processes, and respect for subject-matter expertise.
Designing for relevance, agency, application, clarity, motivations, and the realities of adult learners.
Applying AI and emerging learning technologies with purpose, evidence, and appropriate guardrails.
Advancing alignment, rigor, accessibility, usability, and continuous quality improvement to improve student learning experiences.
Quality course design positively impacts students.
That's the WHY behind everything I do. High-quality online learning is not about decorating a Canvas shell or adding technology just because its trending. Its about creating clarity, relevance, alignment, interaction, accessibility, and meaningful opportunities for learners.

Featured Insights
At UF CJC, I lead division-wide quality initiatives that ensure adequate rigor, and strengthen course alignment, accessibility, usability, faculty partnership, and student success across graduate and undergraduate online programs.
Helped lead UF CJC Online’s graduate-program redesign and division-wide quality strategy—work associated with a 25% increase in student course completion and the achievement of Quality Matters certification across 100% of the online graduate course portfolio by 2025.
Working across faculty, academic leadership, instructional design, advising, and media teams because sustainable online quality is never a one-person project. The best work happens when expertise is collaborative and expectations are clear.
I teach Personal Branding and Digital Reputation Management in UF CJC's online graduate program. That makes my own digital presence more than a résumé. Its also a living example of the principles I ask students to apply: clear positioning, audience awareness, credible evidence, visual consistency, purposeful storytelling, and continuous reputation management.
