About Me
Being instilled with the love of learning, I have become an experienced K-12 educator with Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Educational Science and professional development - despite the learning difficulties I constantly had to face throughout my own schooling.
My misfit state proved to be a blessing - it developed the sensitivity, compassion, and understanding I needed during the 15+ years working with young children and teens, which also led to my 10+ years of educator & staff training experience including delivering workshops, designing training guidelines & instructional materials and providing support on every level of a large international organization.
​
Having worked in 17 countries online and on-site, I developed the ability to work both individually and as part of a team, independently solving problems while following high-quality company standards. Being a collaborator is my second nature and I'm accustomed to remote work and juggling multiple projects and shifting priorities.
I have an ongoing enthusiasm and a genuine passion for integrating technology and the best progressive educational practices, trusting that I'm helping people reach their full potential.
