After 15 years as a special education teacher in NYC and VA, I have spend the last 4 years as an Instructional Technology Resource teacher with Lynchburg City Schools. I'm passionate about lesson design that is accessible to all students, and specifically the intersections of content, pedagogy and technology. Additionally, I have spoken at the VADOE's Edequity webinar series on equitable grading practices and various conferences across the state. Outside of education, I love taking bike-packing trips with my husband and kids and weekly trivia with friends.
