Bio

I serve as the Director of Digital Learning and Strategy at the National Security Space Institute (NSSI) and the Head of the Technical Solutions - Visualizations Branch at Sigmatech. I've been an educator and leader within the Department of Defense for 25 years. I earned a doctorate in Educational Leadership, and my position allows me to focus on innovative digital learning strategies supporting the learning environment, standing up, expanding methods, and sustaining growth within Sigmatech, the NSSI, and the United States Space Force. Recently, I spearheaded the stand-up and now manage the NSSI’s state-of-the-art educational technology innovation laboratory, where my team focuses on developing and testing educational tools in mixed reality, leveraging augmented and virtual reality hardware and software, modeling and simulation, motion capture, system modeling, 3D modeled animations, 3D printing and scanning, holographic presentations, and multimedia produced simulations and scenarios all designed to support their array of asynchronous and synchronous educational modalities. We constantly evaluate and integrate new educational hardware and software technologies, enhancing the teaching and learning experience at the NSSI.
