Technology Coach/ Academic Coach

Currently, I am an Instructional and Technology Coach for two elementary schools. I have been a Coach for six years. Previously, I was an elementary Assistant Principal for eight years where I also served as the school based technology coordinator. My background also includes eleven years teaching at the elementary level, as well as, teaching two years overseas.
I am always researching and looking for new ideas to support teachers to purposefully and seamlessly integrate technology. My goal is to provide authentic engaging learning experiences that include collaboration, creativity, and innovation; while meeting the diverse needs of all students.
