Hi. My name is Alexa Summers. I am an Associate Professor of Web Development at Johnson County Community College, previously coming from the Game Development department. I have both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Computer Science, an EdS in Digital Leadership, and a Graduate Certificate in College Teaching and Career Preparation, which have collectively equipped me with an understanding of the intersections between technology and education. My past research efforts involve atmospheric science research at Tel Aviv University, where I concentrated on natural disaster-predictions, focusing on creating models that can aid in real-time response efforts to potential threats. Additionally, I participated in data science research at University of Missouri—Kansas City, centering on anxiety detection in dementia patients, aiming to develop algorithms that can improve early intervention strategies for mental health challenges. Furthermore, I conducted the evaluation of video conferencing software for use in virtual education at Fort Hays State University, exploring the effectiveness and accessibility of these tools in enhancing students’ learning experiences. My professional goals include focusing on diversity in the classroom, striving to create an inclusive environment that embraces students from all backgrounds, researching ease-of-use in online class settings, encouraging positive mental health through supportive practices and resources, and becoming involved with professional development opportunities around the community to stay abreast of the latest advancements in technology and pedagogy.
