Masters +30: Administration, Curriculum and Instruction
Masters: Technology in Education
Bachelors: Secondary Education Social Studies Concentration
I have been in education for 20 years plus. During my time in education I have worked at all levels from the classroom, school level support for teachers, District Instructional Technology, and Regional Corporate Consultant. As a classroom teacher, I have successfully taught all levels of students College Prep, Honors, and Advanced Placement. This experience allows me a unique perspective to be the Site Coordinator and AVID teacher. I will say with all of my experience, the classroom was my favorite place to be.
Outside of work I am a maker. I craft and create to take my mind off everyday responsibilities and to learn. I play with paper and vinyl. I sew. I cook. I paint. I screen print. I use a hammer and nails. I garden. This tinkering has led to a small, tiny side business in my life called M.A.S.W. Maker. I am happily married and a proud step mom. I have a dog named Milky, who stole my heart. My husband and I love to hit the road for a grand adventure.
