As a certified distance learning leader, conducted quantitative research and developed a comprehensive business plan for the implementation of a distance/distributed learning program for Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology. The program allows prospective students interested in pursuing theological education to enroll in courses while remaining in their current occupations. A 3-year curriculum was developed for use in the program that would include cluster/regional classes, summer residency, and website interactive lessons.

Authored and developed the teenage curriculum model for the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese entitled “The Cana Curriculum.” This comprehensive 6-step curriculum model was developed to provide instructional resources and assets to religious educators. The model uses constructivist and co-operative learning principles and includes a variety of evaluative instruments.
