Meet our 2022-23 PhD Plus Interns

Graduate students Kenn Dela Cruz and Annika Kraft are joining the CTE team this academic year as our PhD Plus Interns. Kenn will work with CTE Assistant Director Lindsay Wheeler and the University Teaching and Learning Technology (UTLT) committee to advance data- and assessment-related projects. Annika will work with CTE Assistant Director Adriana Streifer to support our graduate student programming.

Kenn Dela Cruz

Psychology

"I am excited to incorporate methods in data analytics to derive data-driven solutions towards the implementation and improvement of learning technologies. I also look forward to learning how to communicate and disseminate such solutions and descriptive findings to the academic and institutional community here at UVA."

Annika Kraft

Chemistry

"I'm excited for the opportunities to gain experience putting research into practice throughout this internship. I am hoping to find a job in educational development after I graduate and I look forward to learning more about what goes on behind the scenes at the CTE and working with a variety of their programs. One project I'm particularly excited about this year is designing and implementing a workshop!"
