From Computer Lab to Innovation Stations

I am an educator that is passionate about empowering students. I believe that we must equip students with skills that will promote growth and creativity. I am currently a district level resource that is encouraged to support learners with technology implementation. Technology implementation is a standard that is continually growing and changing. That’s why it’s imperative that we equip learners with skills to encourage creativity and flexible thinking.

3rd grade classroom teacher for 18 years. Supporting, innovating, and engaging students in technology use during my entire career. In 2019 I left the classroom to become the district's first Technology Implementation Specialist. This position is a natural fit in that I spent most of my "free time" as a teacher either coming up with new ways to utilize technology with students, evaluating platforms and apps, integrating and innovating ways to enhance student learning through the use of available technology or helping other teachers do the same. As an Implementation Specialist my passion and skills are taken to the district level.
