Service Philosophy

I treat service as field-building work. For me, service includes sharing research through invited talks and workshops, reviewing scholarship, supporting professional communities, and mentoring students and early-career scholars. Across these roles, I try to make the field of learning, design, and AI more rigorous, more connected, and more welcoming to new participants.

Invited Talks & Workshops

Eight invited sessions from 2023 to 2026 across Indiana University Bloomington, Purdue, Old Dominion University, Boise State, and community-facing venues.

Scholarly Review

Documented ad hoc review and proposal review from 2023 to 2025 across journals in educational technology, AI in education, psychology, and language learning.

Leadership & Community

PALDT communications lead, AECT and AERA member, Purdue AI in P-12 conference contributor, and ConnectEd mentor.

Knowledge-Sharing

Invited Talks & Workshops

I use invited talks as one form of professional service: they let me translate research into practical methods, design questions, and usable frameworks for faculty, graduate students, and broader learning communities.

  • Recent invitations: GIST Professional Development Series, Indiana University Bloomington R678, Purdue PUPIL Workshop, and Indiana University Bloomington R622.
  • Additional venues: Old Dominion University IDT, Indiana University Bloomington's AI Workshop for Learning and Teaching, Chinese Tidings, and Boise State EDTECH 698.
  • Recurring themes: systematic review methods, AI and self-directed learning, doctoral pathways, and research translation for multilingual and educator communities.

Association & Program Work

Conference, Program, & Field Visibility

I also contribute through the association and program structures that make scholarly exchange possible, including communication work, conference outreach, and representing Purdue's Learning Design and Technology community in field-facing spaces.

  • PALDT communications lead: supported newsletters, event visibility, and student-facing program communication in 2024 and 2025.
  • Purdue AI in P-12 Education Conference: presenter and organizing committee contributor in 2024 and 2025.
  • Professional community: AERA and AECT member, with conference-based representation at reception and outreach events.

Mentoring & Community-Building

Supporting Students and Early-Career Scholars

Beyond formal association roles, I contribute through mentoring and community-facing support that helps students and early-career scholars participate more fully in the field.

  • ConnectEd mentor: support early-career scholars through cross-institutional mentoring, resource sharing, and academic development programming.
  • Student community-building: help create informal gatherings and local events that connect students, designers, and educators around equitable instructional design.
  • Overall aim: make research communities more navigable, more supportive, and more welcoming to new participants.
