Tell us about what you do here at UNMC.

As the e-learning instructional designer for UNMC Academic Affairs, I support the e-learning across campus by collaborating with faculty, staff and e-learning grant award winners on best practices, active learning pedagogy, and sound instructional design when using technology to help students learn.

Leadership is one of UNMC’s brand values. Tell us of a time you witnessed a person or group act as a trusted resource at UNMC.
E-learning at UNMC, by its very nature, allows me to meet and work with many of the most innovative people on campus – faculty, students and staff. I see these leaders dedicate extensive time, effort and energy into enhancing education at UNMC. These leaders ask questions, learn from others, collaborate, take risks, share time and knowledge with others and are always looking to the future of education for our upcoming health care providers.

What is your favorite summer activity?
Lake time with family and friends and cheering on people who are learning how to water ski.
