What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining classroom teaching and ed-tech leadership where I can design professional development, support teachers, and improve student outcomes.

I am an educational technology specialist and experienced K–8 teacher with a strong background in instructional design, curriculum development, and classroom technology management. I have led professional development for teachers and converted instructional programs to online platforms.

Over my career I have managed large-scale school technology assets and taught technology classes including Internet safety, multimedia, coding, and digital storytelling to middle school students. I also designed technology-infused lessons and coordinated ed-tech teams for multi-school systems.

I have significant experience tutoring and teaching diverse learners, including English language learners, suspended students, and those needing alternative pathways to meet graduation requirements. I have been recognized for effective relationships with students, parents, and colleagues and for measurable student improvement.

I am committed to service, continuous learning, and using evidence-based instructional practices to improve learning outcomes and teacher capacity. I seek roles where I can blend classroom instruction, technology leadership, and professional development to positively impact student achievement.
