My desire is to continue to positively influence and allow students to thrive with regards to notable growth and more importantly, a love for learning. I am a passionate and creative leader from Minnesota with 10 years of experiences supporting Title I schools in San Antonio, San Jose, and East Palo Alto. I want to continue this passion for both state of the art curriculum and unique pedagogical approaches to better support all learners and educators.
Through various methods of conference facilitation, I am dedicated to empowering teachers and leaders to meet the challenges set by higher standards, unfinished instruction, and institutional racism by providing immersive instructional equity professional development through our Virtual Summits and in-person Standards Institutes, free high-quality NGSS standards-aligned resources for the classroom, and additional professional learning opportunities.
Investigating Ways to Foster Sustainable Use of Computational Modeling in K-12 Science Classrooms (A2S) is a NSF-funded research project which seeks to support and examine the development of computational modeling as a sustained practice in middle school science classrooms.
