Abstract

The benefit of a career spanning multiple fields and industries means a front-row seat in identifying overlaps and differences across many contexts. As an art and design educator turned researcher turned digital transformation and strategy consultant, I am uniquely inspired by the potential to transform education and research through transparency and accessibility. With an unwavering belief that education holds pre-eminent value in fostering student learning, creativity and social-emotional well-being, my journey has uniquely positioned me to see the possibilities for better integrating research to increase the impact on practice.
