I have my MA in history from UCF and have been accepted to a PhD program at the University of Arkansas. I've worked for a simulation and training lab at UCF's Institute for Simulation and Training for five years. In that time, I've helped create interactive training curricula, written grants, skill taxonomy, conducted applied research in distracted driving, and am currently project lead on an FEMA funded immersive simulation and curriculum overhaul for the Orange County Fire Rescue Department.
