Summary

Open Education leader with 13 years designing learning systems that work in real conditions: overloaded faculty, complex institutions, and students who cannot afford more barriers. I lead Open Education strategy at the University of Texas at Arlington, building scaffolded pathways that move people from curiosity to capability to leadership.

My work sits at the intersection of program design, facilitation, and open infrastructure. I build credentialed learning experiences, decision-ready documentation, and publishing workflows that make adoption and adaptation sustainable. I center accessibility, UDL, and care ethics as operational design choices that reduce friction and increase follow-through.

Areas of focus

• Open Education strategy, implementation, and systems change
• Microcredentials, digital badges, and competency-based pathway design
• Facilitation and cohort/community-of-practice design
• OER adoption, adaptation, creation, and author support (Pressbooks)
• Accessibility and Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
• Documentation systems (decision-ready artifacts, templates, process design)
• Assessment and continuous improvement (story-based + data-informed)
