Curriculum Vitae

Summary:

I’ve been in education for fourteen years, working with both students and teachers with the simple goal of always doing what’s best for students.  I enjoy sharing practices and resources that I know will make a difference in classrooms.  I understand the paradigm shifts that are currently needed to incorporate best practices and technology on an integrated level.  While my primary goal of doing what’s best for students is important, it is just as important to reflect on and support what’s best for teachers as well; because ultimately, they will be responsible for transforming their own classrooms into suitable learning environments for their students.
