After 26 incredible years at the University at Buffalo, I’m deeply grateful for the experiences, lessons, and relationships I’ve gained. Working with so many talented and passionate colleagues has been an honor, and our shared achievements will stay with me.

As I begin my next chapter, I’m excited to pursue new challenges and spend quality time with family and friends. I remain devoted to SUNY’s Exploring Emerging Technologies for Lifelong Learning and Success (#EmTech) initiative and will continue collaborating with the Leadership Team to forge new partnerships that empower learners through digital tools.

I’m also looking forward to expanding my work with the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system, especially in immersive technologies like AR and VR.

To my friends and colleagues, both near and far—thank you for your support and collaboration over the years. It’s truly been a privilege, and I can’t wait to see where we go next.
