Research Interest and Focus
My research interests focus on the intersections of higher education support, learning science, information literacy, and emerging technologies. This interdisciplinary approach comes from my own experiences as a scholar and practitioner observing the similar challenges and opportunities that adult learners experience in post-secondary education and workforce learning and development initiatives.
