Passionate About Learning
About Me.
I am a passionate learning strategist, edtech enthusiast and content creator. I strive to improve education systems through content contribution, learning design, and coaching.
My greatest strength is helping educators find creative solutions to support student learning. I firmly believe the best way to do that is through collaboration and knowledge exchange. It is my hope that with these efforts, teachers will feel empowered to make meaningful and confident decisions in the classroom.
I am also an ASCD Emerging Leader and have served as a former member of the Academic Advisory Board for Learning Ally. These engagements enable me to contribute to enriching students' learning experiences through creative and enjoyable methods.
I hold a project management professional (PMP) certificate, and I am currently working towards my digital marketing certificate.
