Can you tell us a little about the path you took to land here at UMBC?

I’ve been involved in education my whole life. This goes way back to when I was a middle and high school teacher and guidance counselor after completing graduate school. Additionally, I’ve been teaching in subjects like training and human development, learning and development, and course design for over thirty years. Probably longer than I care to remember! Basically, I’ve worked with most every population from k-12 to adults. It’s been a nice journey to say the least. For the most part, I’ve always had my hands in training, teaching, and administration in both an academic and government setting. So, I’m extremely familiar with and focused on learning and development. I’m happy to be a part of the ISD field, specifically the areas of Instructional Design, eLearning, and Performance Improvement.
