INNOVATION Technologist
Educational Background and Professional Experience:
I hold a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from the University of San Diego, where I developed a strong foundation in teaching and learning. I also hold a BCLAD (Bilingual Cross-Cultural Language and Academic Development) credential in Spanish, along with a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential.
Over the past 17 years, I have gained unique professional experience working with students across all grade levels. My expertise in educational technology and innovation has allowed me to leverage the design thinking process to plan and lead inquiry-based learning experiences that foster critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication.
My roles have included teaching in two distinct Spanish immersion programs and serving as a technology and innovation teacher for all grade levels in the Del Mar Union School District. I am excited to continue partnering with classroom teachers to co-create meaningful, student-centered learning experiences this year.
