After twelve fulfilling years in the classroom, I transitioned to the corporate side of education as a consultant and professional development provider. My journey has been driven by my passion for preparing both educators and students for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow's world, not yesterday’s.
As a professional development specialist, I am committed to empowering teachers with the knowledge and tools they need to cultivate a classroom environment that fosters innovation, critical thinking, and lifelong learning. My approach centers on equipping educators with practical strategies and resources to enhance classroom efficiency and effectively engage students in meaningful learning experiences.
I firmly believe that the key to shaping the future lies in empowering educators to adapt and thrive in an ever-evolving educational landscape. With this in mind, my mission is to collaborate with teachers to develop tailored training programs that not only address current needs but also anticipate future trends and challenges.
Drawing from my diverse experience in middle school math and science, as well as high school computer literacy and business education, I bring a unique perspective to professional development initiatives. My efforts have been recognized through certifications such as Google for Education Certified Innovator and Microsoft Innovative Education Expert Fellow, underscoring my commitment to excellence and innovation in education. In 2024, I received the PAECT (ISTE Affiliate) Mary C. Renner/Ron Bennett Achievement Award.
I am excited to continue making a positive impact in the field of education by empowering educators to inspire and prepare the next generation of learners. Together, let us embark on a journey of continuous growth and transformation, shaping the future of education one classroom at a time.
