I am a Research Associate with the Friday Institute at NC State University and I work in the program evaluation and education research (PEER) group. I have 25 years of experience in education in North Carolina, at the elementary, middle, and undergraduate levels. My experience teaching in high-needs schools for many of those years provides a pragmatic, yet urgent view of the ways evaluation and research might benefit students and teachers across the state. My research specializes in learning design and technology, studying and writing about technology acceptance and the innovative use of technology for teaching and learning. I have experience in conducting evaluation for local and state projects, from a variety of funding sources. Having completed doctoral studies, I have been focused on gaining more experience working with teams that reach across organizations to provide formal and informal experiences to learners of all ages.
