Learn with Me
As a former fifth grade teacher and elementary technology coach, I understand the challenges and opportunities in today's classrooms. Now, as an educational consultant, I focus on helping K-12 teachers enhance their practice, which often involves leveraging technology in meaningful ways.
My goal is simple: to support educators in creating engaging, creative learning experiences for their students. I believe in the power of connecting learning with creativity, and I'm here to help you explore that potential.
Whether I'm presenting, running workshops, writing newsletters, or occasionally stepping in as a substitute teacher in my local schools, I'm committed to the education community. Let's work together to make your teaching experience more fulfilling and your students' learning more dynamic.
