Hi! I'm the Product Manager for Search Progress and Coach, information literacy tools that are part of Microsoft’s recently-announced suite of Learning Accelerators. Raised by journalists and with a background in engineering, I'm familiar not only with the importance of information literacy, but also the unique challenges associated with developing these skills in the digital age. I speak with educators weekly about their experiences teaching these topics, and I work to integrate that feedback into the tools that we build. So excited to meet amazing educators and school leaders at ISTE this year! 🌻
