Biography

I'm an Economics instructor at the University of Virginia. I'm passionate about leveraging technology to enhance learning experiences. Over the years, I've experimented with group tutoring, inviting former students to assist current ones. I've developed video solutions for quizzes using a document camera and even pioneered a class in virtual reality. I maintain an open line of communication with my students, always available for direct messaging on Teams. At present, I'm exploring the potential of AI and chatbots to further enrich the classroom environment. I'm actively working on an app that can identify correct answers on quizzes, allowing students to simply scan a QR code for instant feedback. My ultimate goal is to make the study of economics both engaging and accessible for everyone.
