What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to innovate in educational technology and empower educators through professional development.

With over 20 years of teaching experience and a master’s degree in Educational Technology Leadership, I am a passionate educator dedicated to empowering teachers and enhancing student engagement. As an ISTE Certified Educator, I have successfully integrated digital tools into the classroom, fostering innovative teaching practices that prepare students for the future.

In my role as an Instructional Technology Coach, I have guided peers in aligning instructional technology with ISTE standards, facilitating workshops on digital storytelling and robotics. My commitment to professional development is evident through my leadership in designing and delivering sessions at major conferences like ISTE and LACUE, where I equip educators with effective strategies for project-based learning and coding.

Currently, I serve on the Executive Board of LACUE as Secretary and Conference Program Chair, where I coordinate large-scale professional development events. My diverse experience includes managing a STEM curriculum for young learners and leading the establishment of a new school library, ensuring equitable access to resources for all students.
