CONFERENCE

PRESENTATIONS

This is an overview of one of my favorite projects. I use this to teach Photoshop in an engaging, creative way with our students in my Multimedia Content Creation course. This presentation was given during a GIFTS session of the November 2020 conference for the National Communication Association.

MURROW SYMPOSIUM

PANELIST AND MODERATOR

In this segment, I share the work I have done to create an Adobe virtual lab space to ensure our students’ success. I won the 2021 Oaks Academic Technology Award as a result of this work.

In March 2021, I moderated this panel discussion with industry-leading professionals about Brand Storytelling.

A student note

Thank you for being such a great professor. Over my years at three different colleges, (I’ve moved a lot), I can confidently say that you have been the most inspiring teacher I have had thus far. You bring a sense of humor, passion, joy, and excitement to your work, which has been rare in my experience!

Please continue to express your passion and share your light with your future students! It really brightened my (otherwise) seemingly disconnected semester and I hope to have another Professor who embodies similar traits in my final year of school.

I just wanted to say thank you for such a great class! You have been by far the best teacher I’ve worked with during my time at WSU. I really appreciated your positive and personalized feedback. I can tell you love what you do and are darn good at it, so thank you again!

Best wishes!

I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to you for this class and the way you have structured it. I have really learned a lot. The way you provided video content on how to accomplish tasks in all the platforms we used I was able to try more techniques than I had in the past. I actually ended up devoting more time to each project than what was in the course framework because I was enjoying exploring new things. I have friends that I have recommended this class to, and friends that are educators that I have told how well this class took advantage of the online and digital resources that are out there. I really appreciate the time, forethought, and enthusiasm you brought to this course.

P.S. I seriously did find fonts really entertaining to work with. I didn’t believe you when you said that they were fun. I was wrong. 😁
