🕒 What I’m Doing Now

As we transition from summer to fall, I’m getting back into the swing of things! 🍂 I’ve officially started the new semester, teaching three classes. While that’s one fewer than my summer workload, it’s still keeping me on my toes! 🤪 I’m excited for all the good things that come with autumn—hoodies, pumpkin spice lattes, and most importantly, no more humidity. Wish me luck! 📚☕

🧠 Learning

I’m currently earning credentials in Universal Design for Learning (UDL) — a framework that helps make learning more accessible, inclusive, and effective for all students. UDL emphasizes flexible ways of presenting content, engaging learners, and measuring understanding. I’m exploring how to bring these principles into my courses to better support diverse student needs.

🤔 What’s a “Now” Page?

Inspired by Derek Sivers, this is a public reminder of what I’m focusing on — not just what I do, but what I’m doing now. It helps me stay intentional and lets you see where my energy is going.
