Empowering 21st-Century Liberal Arts Education through Digital Innovation

With a commitment to contemporary education and DEI, I blend strategic leadership and digital innovation to redefine the liberal arts. By fostering innovation and inclusivity, I prepare institutions to meet the challenges of the digital era.

Drawing on over 20 years of experience in higher education, my career spans various influential roles, including associate director of academic technology at Grinnell College, where I formed and managed the Digital Liberal Arts Collaborative, and a key contributor at HyperStudio, MIT’s digital humanities lab. At Wesleyan University, I currently serve as the senior director of academic and emerging technologies, where I lead strategic initiatives to integrate digital tools into the liberal arts curriculum, enhancing educational outcomes and fostering innovation.
