Welcome CSIT 101 Students!
This site serves as an example for my CSIT 101 students' final e-Portfolio website and a repository for my lecture notes.
An ePortfolio is a high-impact educational practice that enables students to collect their work over time, reflect on their personal and academic growth, and share it with others, such as professors, advisors, and potential employers. For more information on high-impact educational practice, click here.
We will be working on your ePortfolios throughout the entire semester.
I’m an educator with a proven track record in academia and corporate settings, leading initiatives where technology, pedagogy, and innovation meet. I teach and lead in both online and face-to-face environments, designing courses in programming logic, foundational web development, and digital literacy.
Beyond the classroom, I mentor faculty and collaborate across disciplines to strengthen teaching practices, modernize curriculum, and build learning experiences that actually connect. My work centers on empowering students and educators to be digitally fluent, adaptable, and future-ready.
You can see more on my LinkedIn Page.
My hobbies include lifting heavy things at the gym, hiking, cooking, watching cheesy horror movies, and trying to keep up with music (I'm failing miserably).
I live in Perry Hall, MD, with my husband, two sons, Marsh the dog, and Irish the Cat.
