About Me
I am the Director of Digital Media at National Geographic's The JASON Project. I direct the design and production of video games that address core middle school science curriculum. Our games are free so check them out! You can start by going to: http://www.jason.org/PublicPage/Curriculum/CoasterCreator.aspx

I am also completing my PhD in Instructional Technology and Educational Research Methods at George Mason University.


PAST
I'm an instructional designer at PBS. Before joining PBS I researched games and education with the GAPPS (now GLS) group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While there I co-chaired the Games, Learning, and Society Conference. I also worked as a digital archivist for a project with the National Science Digital Library.
Prior to that, I was a high school chemistry and physics teacher and have taught science education methods at the graduate and undergraduate level.

    PBS is the best!! Let me know if you ever need feedback from a 3rd grade teacher and mother of 4.

    I love PBS! There is a lot of new PBS stuff in the unitedstreaming PLUS version from Discovery. While I don't work for them, I am a STAR Discovery Educator in their Network (so the plug is free!).
