"Over the five or so years in the community college setting, I have witnessed the need for virtual learning become more and more apparent, and I'm excited to be on the forefront of that movement. Learning in a virtual environment--away from face-to-face contact with both instructors and peers--is difficult for a lot of students. I want to make the virtual learning environment as effective and impactful for both students and educators. I want to bridge the gap that students may feel and help them get the best education possible in the virtual environment. Also, the fact that innovation in technology and instructional methods will continue to grow in the years to come makes this role exciting for me."
