About Me

I am currently teaching in my 12th year and I absolutely love my job.  I love teaching students to love learning.  Serving students, staff, and our school community gives me a sense of worth.  It allows me to feel like I belong. I have a Master's in Educational Leadership and I am currently working on a second Master's in Digital Learning Leadership. Needless to say, I love to learn and to teach others to love learning, too.

​

As I continue my professional journey, I like to think of my career as one big learning experience that continuously grows with each project and collaboration. With a dedication to functionality and a curiosity for what’s ahead of the curve, I keep my work practical, relevant and creative. Have a look at my projects, and feel free to reach out with any questions.
