I started out in my career with the goal of becoming a research psychologist. I loved the years I spent training for this career – the experiments, the debates, feeling like I had a front-row seat to watch a nearly-new science come into its own. But as I settled into my job as a professor at a state university, I realized something was missing. Always a practical person at heart, I wanted to see that new science put to use. I especially wanted to know what it told us about all the new technologies that had begun to radically change how the world thinks about education. I realized that most students, and most college teachers as well, haven’t the faintest idea of how learning really works. Nor do they know how technology interacts with the mind and the brain to help (or hinder) learning. And so, I set out to share this research with my fellow college teachers. I started by publishing a few articles that later blossomed into a book, Minds Online: Teaching Effectively with Technology, published by Harvard University Press. That book took off, opening opportunities to reach audiences in academic and corporate settings around the world. Today, that’s the kind of work I most love to do. I’m also driven to keep investigating the relationship between technology, learning, and the mind. There's the practical issue of how remote and online learning can be made as effective - or more so - than the traditional classroom equivalent. Then there are the bigger questions of how technology is changing us. How do we pay attention in a technology-saturated world? Do today’s young people really focus differently, and is that because technology has changed their brains? Does technology change how we remember - and in that way, is it changing who we are? When I give a talk, I start by demonstrating surprising, important principles of how the mind works, using anything from puzzles to examples from everyday life. Then I share concrete, actionable strategies about how to make those principles work for us, as we strive to succeed in an age where technology is everywhere and the ability to learn is the most valuable skill anyone can possess.

I Graduated from Michigan State University and was a keynote speaker on the topics of female entrepreneurship, leadership, and professional networking. As the CEO of two technology companies I wanted “To gain users and attention, so I developed City Girls Big Dreams weekly online “Dream Session” events for girls, women, and their supporters to learn about CashFundHer.com while connecting with mentors to develop their goals then collect money online. The Dream Session events are coordinated by interns I mentor in the spring, summer, and fall semesters, as part of an internship program designed for CashFundHer.com to grow the number of women with experience working at technology companies.” It’s in each of these roles that I strive daily to create opportunities for girls and women to transform their dreams into reality through collaboration, partnerships and social networking.

Since evolving the business into a globally accessible online store, Zarkpas operates with a focus on exposing the world to the intricacies and diversity of West African fashion through custom apparel, handbags and accessories. With several businesses under my belt and as a mentor to emerging entrepreneurs, I am led by the Creator to serve as a beacon of hope in places that the world has neglected and yet, still imitates. Thank you for visiting my website, make sure to support girls and women on CashFundHer.Com. Matthew 6:33 Dreams only come true when you're real with God and yourself.
