Credentials & Training

My approach to teaching and instructional design is shaped by sustained, intentional professional learning in pedagogy, learning science, accessibility, and educational technology. Rather than treating certifications as isolated credentials, I view them as complementary forms of training that inform how I design courses, support faculty, and evaluate learning environments across modalities.

This page highlights both core credentials and ongoing professional learning that inform my work in teaching, faculty development, and instructional design.
