I have been in education for twenty years, thirteen of which were in the classroom. I am presently blessed with the opportunity to serve the Malden R-1 School District as the Instructional Technology Coordinator and Elementary Math Coach.

In the position of Instructional Technology Coordinator, I take care of student accounts, create personalized professional development, and support the staff in innovating the classroom.

I was the director of our after-school program for three years. The position allowed me to help students get additional assistance needed outside of the classroom and provide enriching activities for student growth. This position involved program development, recruiting and leading staff, and managing the grant budget. This successful program was a team effort and I am glad I had the opportunity to direct it.

​As the grant finished, I was asked to step into the Elementary Math Coach position. This is my second year in this position. We have been building a deeper understanding of math while implementing the new math program.

Learning and sharing drive me. A positive outlook and helping others to embrace their strengths are vital. Empowering staff and students through support is necessary. Implementing the latest technology in both curriculum development and teaching with a grounding in solid pedagogy and a heart for kids is the goal.

My passion is teaching, my interest is technology integration, and I am a Google Certified Trainer. The art of education and technology go hand in hand. Technology will never replace sound teaching, but imagine the possibilities of embracing it.
