What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to innovate in educational training and development.

I am a dedicated education professional with extensive experience in leading professional development programs for educators. Currently, as the Director of Professional Learning at the Arizona Science Center, I design and deliver impactful training that enhances teaching practices and improves educational outcomes. My role involves managing a talented team of instructional designers and facilitators, overseeing multi-million-dollar grant budgets, and utilizing data analytics to assess program effectiveness.

Throughout my career, I have successfully directed the creation of professional learning programs that focus on effective instructional strategies and curriculum design. My previous roles, including Manager of Professional Learning and Professional Development Facilitator, have equipped me with the skills to collaborate with educational leaders, analyze training needs, and refine programs based on feedback and performance metrics. I am passionate about fostering a culture of continuous improvement in education and empowering educators to excel in their teaching methodologies.
