Reflecting on what I have achieved so far in my career, scholarship, and research, it becomes clear that my diverse and winding path has positioned me to be a leader in design for anyone who wants to think and act like a designer, or, “design for non-designers”. With the successful development of the Product Design Program at Drexel University behind me I have been increasingly outward-facing, creating a voice for myself. On campus, I have a strong record of cross-disciplinary collaboration, developing creative courses for classes in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and The Close School of Entrepreneurship,. Additionally, I have been building relations with The ExCITE Center and the future Innovation Village, two organizations which are natural arenas for my focus and further success. I have also proven to be a collaborative colleague who is often asked to participate in many activities, both with faculty and students who want to innovate and change the reality of education.
