Professional
Info
I am a technology specialist and experienced educator who has worked in urban and suburban schools with a background in ESL, technology, and special education. My passion for technology pushed me to earn an MEd in Educational Policy & Organizational Leadership with a concentration as a Technology Specialist and certifications in the IT field, such as CompTIA A+ and Security+. I believe technology is a powerful educational tool. I work to design and deliver professional development and training, coach educators, craft technology integration plans, and coordinate technology services to maximize this potential in school districts.
