Dreamscape Learn

After several years of working within international online education at ASU, I found myself transitioning to a new position in a very different field, VR-enhanced learning. In the midst of adapting to the world of cutting-edge technology, I was introduced to Principled Innovation. It was exciting to see the synergy between the mission of Dreamscape Learn, our project, and the concept of cultivating the conditions of human flourishing. As a mission-driven individual, I was energized by the marriage of character and innovation as it could play out within our work. I already had a strong value around civic engagement and student-centered dedication, but Principled Innovation gave me permission to consider how my own character shaped the way I work, and how the work I do shapes my ever-evolving character.
