Personal Statement: Creativity truly is the journey and the destination in my PS15 program. I have launched CS4All programs, including coding, robotics, and 3D design. Students create digital art and animations, and a number of projects have been selected for the borough arts festival, citywide. I have co-authored and secured a grant to create a Tinkerlab to expand PS15’s STEAM learning opportunities.

In addition to my creative curriculum, I have developed student leadership through the MOUSE Squad which provides technical assistance and troubleshooting for the school.

Finally, I was just awarded the 2017 Excellence in School Technology Award.
