About Me

I’m originally from Rapid City, SD but I live and work in Sioux Falls, SD. I’m a former mathematics/STEM secondary teacher with 15 years of experience. My passion for learning drives me to create immersive, effective eLearning experiences.

Also, I have the following degrees to help promote my eLearning development:

  • B.S. in Applied and Computational Mathematics - South Dakota School of Mines and Technology

  • B.S. in Computer Science - South Dakota School of Mines and Technology

  • Teaching Certification in South Dakota - Black Hill State University

  • M.S. in Curriculum Instruction - Technology Integration - Black Hill State University

My love of theatre and storytelling helps me build engaging eLearning solutions. Just like any good story, the plot, characters, and visuals are integral parts of the experience. I work to immerse learners in these stories so they become memorable.

Here are some of my notable theatre roles:

  • Enjolras - Les Miserables

  • King Triton - The Little Mermaid (2017)

  • Chef Louis - The Litter Mermaid (2023)

  • Roger - Grease

  • Lumiere - Beauty and the Beast

  • Dr. Frederick Frankenstein - Young Frankenstein

As a mathematician and technology user, I love solving problems. Finding the best solution motivates me to work hard, explore different paths, and utilize my resources. The best solutions are always easy to communicate, accessible to all learners, and simple to replicate.

I’m experienced using the following technology tools:

  • Microsoft Office Suite (Certified)

  • Camtasia (Certified)

  • Canvas LMS

  • YouTube

  • Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator
