Career Focus & Specialties

Overview
I design theory-driven, technology-enhanced coursework that bridges film practice (directing actors, production design, auteur studies) with research-based pedagogy and inclusive learning.

​

Areas of Specialization

• Film pedagogy: performance direction, mise-en-scène, auteur analysis (Spielberg, Shyamalan, Hitchcock, Gerwig, Kubrick, Zemeckis, Coppola, Cameron)

• Technology-enhanced course design (online, hybrid, experiential)

• Generative AI for creatives and instructional media

• Visual storytelling & visual literacy

• Curriculum leadership, assessment, and program design

• Equity, inclusion, and access in media education

​

Instructional Design Models I Use

• ADDIE — structure, alignment, and iterative improvement

• SAM (Successive Approximation Model) — rapid prototyping and quick test–refine cycles

• UDL (Universal Design for Learning) — multiple means of engagement, representation, and expression

• Bloom’s Taxonomy — scaffolded objectives/assessments from analyze → create
