Before coming to Gonzaga Hayley was a high school science teacher in Colorado and Oregon. What she enjoyed most about teaching was creating engaging lessons and utilizing technology to enhance and transform the learning experience. Her role as an LMS Administrator allows me to apply and build on the skills she developed as a teacher to support the faculty at Gonzaga. In Hayley's free time, she spends most of her time outdoors, running, biking and hiking. Her husband and her are always planning their next outdoor adventure. She also really enjoys a good coffee shop or tv show binge.

Liz Davis is an instructional technologist with a passion for learning. Her career has included creating, implementing, and managing learning content and structures in various business settings. It is Liz's first time working with higher education, and she couldn't be more thrilled. Liz has a BS in Business Management and an M.Ed. in Instructional Design and is looking forward to partnering with faculty to create the course of their dreams. When she is not at work focused on learning, she is out learning in the wild. It could be in the kitchen perfecting a new dish, in the garden hoping the latest gardening 'hack' doesn't kill the plants, or at the climbing gym on a route that is probably too difficult.
