# A bit about my interests My areas of interest lie at the intersection of **educational technology**, **organizational leadership**, and **pedagogy**. Specifically, I am keen on the application of technologies such as generative Artificial Intelligence (genAI) that may improve and accelerate human learning, and the conditions in which this can occur. The use of technology to assist learning is a constant ill-structured problem and the kind that I have always enjoyed because of the opportunity they present to create something new. While I consider the core of myself an educator, I have multiple interests across disciplines and domains. This has been a motivator and a reason why I have pursued professional roles across industries. From these experiences, I am highly curious in how people learn, strategies to promote effective learning, creating the most effective systems that provide rich learning support, and the selection of technologies for use as a tool or partner in the learning journey. At mid-career I'm transitioning to the next chapter. I have been a K-12 and university teacher, an Instructional Designer, an Learning and Development Program Manager, an Educational Consultant, a people leader/manager, and a director of for future oriented educational initiatives. All of these across large and incredibly diverse organizations. While my focuses have changed over the years, I am still passionate for how **educational technology may improve and advance human learning**. And I fascinated by the challenge of effective leadership to do great and long-lasting work.
