Building on my M.A. in communication from The University of North Texas, I am currently completing a doctorate in communication design at The University of Baltimore with an emphasis in educational technology. The UB program has allowed me to combine coursework in educational technology, interaction design, and Web production skills, including graduate coursework The University of Maryland University College and Indiana University at Bloomington. I'm including sample projects below.
