I'm a slug and proud of it—I have a bachelors degree in biology from UC Santa Cruz and a masters in educational technology from San Jose State University. In a former life I was a dental hygienist and clinical coordinator. My expertise is in distance education and instructional technology. Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with an extraordinary group of visionary people who realized early on online instruction will be in high demand. Distance education would not only provide opportunities for students who needed flexible options for earning college credit, it would unfortunately present challenges for low income students, particularly students of color. My work over the past few years as a Title V Coordinator has focused on equity in distance education, including culturally relevant teaching, hybrid course delivery, and active learning, technology-enhanced classroom redesign.
