A short form bio is an interesting thing when you have been around for a while. Let’s just say it all revolves around getting the best student experiences in classrooms and helping students. I was a teacher for 10 years (thanks CD Hylton, Wheeler, and North Atlanta.) I was a coach (thanks Kennesaw State iTeach.) I have been lucky enough to present all over the country, and meet some amazing people. It has all led to doing what I love by helping teachers integrate coding in any subject!
