I am a practitioner-scholar whose academic work spans teaching and learning in higher education, artificial intelligence, and democratic institutions. As an Instructor of Mathematics and Associate Director of the Center for Academic Excellence at Fairfield University, I focus on how faculty design meaningful, rigorous learning experiences in an AI-enabled environment – particularly around assessment, academic integrity, and deep learning. My research and public-facing work also examine electoral systems, democratic participation, and institutional design, using quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods to bridge theory and policy. Across these domains, my work is driven by a commitment to translating scholarship into practice and ensuring that innovation serves human judgment rather than replacing it.
