Summary
After 14 years teaching in DoDEA and public schools (in VA, CA, and NC), I am excited to continue my passion for curriculum development, instruction, and training through technology. As a military spouse, I am looking for a change due to recent relocation. My experience providing instruction, feedback, and communication due to Covid-19 enhanced my skills with a variety of innovative practices and techniques across a multitude of technology platforms. My education and training to become a licensed administrator has enriched my knowledge of policies, procedures, and standards. I am currently completing my Ed.D. in K-12 Leadership and Administration, and look forward to bringing my experience and talents to a new setting.
