Bio
I am the Publications and Media Manager at the University of Tennessee College of Social Work Office of Research and Public Service. I have more than 14 years of experience working in the field of applied technology. For a number of years I worked for a firm called iPIX (Internet Pictures Corporation). I am currently completing my Master’s in Instructional Technology at the University of Tennessee (UT).

I am married (husband Steve) with 4 children (plus 3 spouses) and have 2 horses. I love to read, write, and ride those horses.

I serve on the board of directors for several national organizations including the board of the Assembly for Expanded Perspectives on Learning (AEPL), an assembly of the National Council of Teachers of English, and the board of the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions (AGRM). Locally, I serve on the board for Hematology/Oncology Patients and Parents with the East Tennessee Children's Hospital.

One of my main technological interests is exploring e-portfolio applications and uses. I have published several online learning modules for the University of Tennessee on this topic (http://edtech.tennessee.edu/set/). In March a chapter that I wrote on Organizational E-Portfolios will be publishing in a book entitled //Informing, Educating, Assessing, and Managing with E-Portfolios// by Informing Science Press.

The publications group that I manage was a 2008 recipient of the Silver Davey Award for Art Direction and Graphic Design. I contribute articles regularly to the UT’s research magazine, //Quest//, the UT College of Social Work alumni newsletter, //Stimulus//, and the AGRM magazine, //Rescue//. =Contact=
