I've enjoyed 20 years in independent schools spanning Massachusetts, California, Washington D.C., and North Carolina as classroom teacher (K,1,2,5), technology integrationist, coach, curriculum developer, and trainer. I am driven to help foster a life-long love of learning within students who feed off of my own thirst for knowledge and enthusiasm for innovation. Above all, I embrace technology as a fluid and evolving mechanism that helps visualize and personalize new information for young learners, while also empowering them to show what they have learned in unique ways.
