I am an Assistant Professor in Learning Technologies at the Graduate School of Education and Psychology at Pepperdine University. I have more than ten years of extensive experience designing, implementing, and researching e-learning practices in various academic and professional settings. Driven by a passion for educational equity, I currently serve as the principal investigator of a research project to enhance AI Literacy among pre-service and in-service teachers in underserved schools in Los Angeles County. Furthermore, I also serve as a co-investigator in a pioneering project that utilizes digital storytelling techniques to develop a mobile application for enhancing the well-being of individuals with disabilities. As an active member of the International Consortium for Innovation and Collaboration in Learning Engineering (ICICLE), I chair the publication committee to raise awareness about the significance of learning engineering as an emerging field with a transformative potential to improve learning practices.
