ISTE Certified Educator

I am so thankful to be a part of a school where I am allowed to have a voice in the direction of creativity and innovation growth. I am passionate about all aspects of technology integration in schools but am especially focused on the role that technology has in our Makerspace, Outdoor Makerspace, Robotics Program, and DREAM Studio. As a presenter at many global conferences, I am always excited to work with others to learn and share so that I can help empower our students through authentic learning experiences.
