An innovative elementary educator, I have been teaching for 23 years. Throughout this time, I've taught kindergarten through 4th grades, continuously working to build relationships with students and provide meaningful learning opportunities.

​

Currently teaching third grade, I strive to inspire curiosity, cultivate creativity, and promote critical thinking, and I'm always excited to explore new possibilities for enhancing learning. In my classroom, we have explored multiple platforms over the past few years that allow students to leverage AI and use AI tools, making sure to develop their AI literacy skills through the process.

 

I work to create engaging, student-centered learning opportunities, utilizing EdTEch and AI to design lessons and enhance student experiences, as well as facilitating thinking routines and design thinking projects,. My experience as a Fellow in the Cultures of Thinking program has further strengthened my approach.

 

As a consultant, I collaborate with EdTech companies on how to empower teachers with the knowledge and understanding they need to effectively use their products. I help teachers see the potential of these tools, demonstrating their ease of use and practical applications in the classroom. Additionally, I partner with companies to co-design products that are both accessible and age-appropriate for young users.
