Drove campus-wide curricula, research, and creative initiatives between the sciences, engineering, humanities, and arts. Developed and executed strategic plans for technological improvements and adoption across campus. Held full accountability for planning, directing, and managing multiple technology rich service points such as the UM3D Lab and Audio Studios. Built processes to accelerate the creative process while ensuring it remained unhindered. Led strategic acquisitions funded through multi-party investments (grants, corporate sponsorship, private investments). Spearheaded initiatives aimed at institutional challenges such as: ‘making’ literacy and models for ubiquitous open-access maker services, reinventing learning spaces for data and visual literacy, accessibility benefits/concerns with emerging technologies, skill building through micro-credential programs, and non-invasive capturing/preservation/presentation of collections.
