Andrew Bumgarner

Originally from North Carolina, I bring a slight drawl, a healthy dose of Southern hospitality, and a deep commitment to inclusive education wherever I go. With a special education and school leadership background, my career has been driven by one central belief: that thoughtfully integrated technology can transform learning for students with unique learner profiles.

I’ve led student support programs in the U.S., Thailand, China, Paraguay, Switzerland, and now Hong Kong, always with a collaborative mindset and a focus on meeting the needs of diverse learners. What excites me most is the growing potential of instructional technology to remove barriers, personalize instruction, and empower students to engage with content in ways that work for them.

I hold master’s degrees in School Administration (Western Carolina University) and Special Education (University of North Carolina at Charlotte), and am currently pursuing a Doctorate of Education in Instructional Technology at Appalachian State University. My research centers on how generative AI can enhance curriculum accessibility for all students.

Outside the classroom, I’m happiest on a trail run or spending time with my family, which keeps me grounded and energized for the work I love.
