I have lived most of my life in "the Land of Oz" (i.e., Kansas), and although I never acquired ruby red slippers, I did see some real tornadoes and still contend, as Dorothy did, that there is truly "no place like home." After leaving Kansas, I moved to the breathtakingly beautiful state of Michigan (where I learned a number of useful things in my Ph.D. program, including how to use my hand as a map). I now live in Utah, which is famous for having the best snow on earth (although I can't personally verify that fact since I haven't been skiing yet).
Currently, I coordinate the Spanish Teaching Major Program at Brigham Young University and teach methods courses for preservice teachers. I also teach graduate courses in technology, assessment, and literacy for the Second Language Acquisition in Teaching Program, the M.A. in Spanish Pedagogy Program, and the Dual Language Immersion Certificate Program.
One thing that you should know about me is that I love exploring conceptual layers of meaning.

Some of the key ideas that have significantly influenced my philosophy of teaching and learning include design-based pedagogies, flow theory, transliteracy, and visual cognition.
