My dissertation research intersects with digital media and pedagogy, and through the Bass Digital Education fellowship, I am able to work with faculty associated with the new Games & Culture Lab on video game studies and design which will translate to many of the positions I’m interested in pursuing upon graduation.

Duke University’s mission calls me to be a lifelong learner using the power of digital technologies. Being a member of the first cohort of Bass Digital Education Fellows is an exceptional opportunity! The fellowship will provide access to the resources I need to continue my development in teaching, while identifying and developing best practices to apply when disseminating knowledge.

Fellowship Components
- A seminar course that prepares students to critically engage with themes of 21st century teaching and learning (GS762: Digital Pedagogy);
- Digital Education fellowship: Practical opportunities to develop teaching skills and gain direct experience for an academic year collaborating on faculty-led digital projects with Learning Innovation;
- A seminar series (GS772: Bass Digital Education Colloquium) where fellows engage with Duke faculty and digital education leaders.
The Bass Digital Education Fellowship is an opportunity that immediately spoke to my experiences and career goals. Through the fellowship, I have already benefited from working with Duke faculty, project managers, and digital learning specialists to develop an online computational programming course for undergraduates. I plan to leverage my work as a fellow to launch a career in the design and advocacy for high-quality, open-source online learning.
