Below are summaries of presentations and workshops that I have led at both national and international conferences and events related to education, instructional technology, and digital learning. Sharing my knowledge and skills with others is one of my biggest passions and I welcome any opportunity to do so!
My colleagues and I from NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing gave a presentation at the 2019 National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) Conference, called Managing the Opioid Crisis Using Analysis of Geospatial Information System Maps: Collaborations Between Primary Care NPs, the Fire Department, EMTs and Paramedics. We discussed the opioid crisis and its relation to primary care practice, using data from geospatial information systems maps to better serve patient populations, and how to collaborate with non-traditional partners to enhance patient care. We also facilitated activities related to opioid prescribing practices.
In November 2018, I gave a presentation about the design, development, and implementation of web-based modules for the HRSA Grant-funded Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Preceptor Development Program (PC-NP-PDP), called Building Successful Online Modules for Clinical Educators to Prepare Students for Clinical Practice. I discussed the instructional design process involved in creating the modules from start to finish. I also shared strategies for collaborating with clinical faculty to produce high quality educational content, software and technology for creating learning assets, and provided exemplars of collaborations with professionals from outside of NYU, such as the FDNY and National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP).
For the entire month of July 2016 I volunteered with EdTech Summit Africa as Director of Social Media and workshop presenter. As presenter, I led and co-facilitated nearly 72 hours of professional training for teachers on strategies for integrating digital tools into their classes, strengthening the technological proficiency and confidence of training participants by engaging them in activities using digital tools.

As Director of Social Media, I oversaw Summit social media activity by creating, editing, publishing, and sharing daily content (images, GIFs, links, and videos) on social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. I also publicized and produced written pieces on the Summit blog.

I presented at the 2015 Asia Society Asia Society Global Education Forum in Philadelphia, PA where I facilitated a breakout session on Global Kids’ NYC Haunts program and geo-locative gaming, called NYC Haunts: Inspiring youth through geo-locative games on global issues. In this workshop, I provided some background information about the NYC Haunts program at Global Kids and an introduction to geo-locative gaming. I demonstrated how geo-locative game design incorporates storytelling as well as computational thinking. Furthermore, I discussed constructivism and culturally relevant pedagogy that guide NYC Haunts curriculum development. Participants played a game built by former NYC Haunts participants, called Jackie
Robinson: Life as a First in the Field and brainstormed an idea for their own game through an
activity, called Grow a Game.

I presented at the 2014 Asia Society Partnership for Global Education Conference in Brooklyn, NY where I presented Global Kids’ Online Leadership Program’s approach to Web 2.0 learning and facilitated a brainstorming activity around game design, called Grow a Game. In this activity, participants come up with a main character for their game who fights for (or against) an issue that is important to the participant and lists an action or two that the main character can use to fight for (or against) the issue.
