I’m an educational technology leader, Google Certified Trainer, and doctoral student at Illinois State University. As founder of Google Educator Group (GEG) Central Illinois, I help educators integrate innovative tools, including AI, to enhance teaching and learning. In my district, I lead technology-focused professional learning, develop AI guidance, and create resources that streamline workflows and strengthen instructional practice. I believe technology should amplify equity, engagement, and community, and I draw on my lived experiences and leadership to inspire educators to embrace change for the benefit of all students.
