Hi – I’m Autumm

Passionate about this thing we call learning and how technology impacts it; I like spending time at the intersections, inbetweens, and middle spaces where things transition from one thing into another.

A first generation high school and college graduate, I’m dedicated to the transformative experience of education for those to whom the opportunity often does not present itself.

I currently work full-time as an Instructional Designer at the University of Michigan – Dearborn and part time at College Unbound as Instructional Faculty in Digital Citizenship and Web and Portfolio Design. Prior to this I held professional appointments at St. Norbert College and Capital University. In the Open, I work with questions of presence and spontaneity in synchronous virtual conversations as well as equity and inclusion in online community. I also help to organize and facilitate Open/Connected online events for the purposes of faculty development and my own practice in digital stewardship. You can find me on Mastodon.
