I am an accomplished adult educator with 20 years of experience, 10 in higher education. Extensive experience in distance learning delivery techniques, continuing education, program development, and strategic planning -- skilled at maximizing human resources and instructional technology in the delivery of dynamic, proactive, student-centered educational opportunities. I also maintain a strong commitment to public service, professional development, and staff development. My main area of research focuses on learner-centered teaching practices (LCTP). I am especially interested in the utilization of nontraditional educational delivery systems such as web-based, computer-based, CD/PDA-based, accelerated, and e-knowledge content delivery methods to create learner-centered environments.
