My interests
My professional areas of interest include using cloud computing to create greater access and student engagement. I am also interested in creating collaborations with other instructors/universities using these tools.

Professional
I have presented several times on the use of cloud computing and video conferencing to connect students and instructors across the globe. The farthest away from home I traveled to present was in 2010 at the International Conference on Emerging eLearning Technologies and Applications in Slovakia. The farthest away from home I traveled to teach is Turkey.

Personal
In my "free" time I like to cycle, run and swim. I have completed several triathlons and an Ironman. I hope to compete again when I finish my PhD and have more time : )
