I am a Google Certified Teacher (Mountain View California 2014) and Google Education Trainer. Currently, I work as an instructional technology coach in Northern Illinois (views expressed here are solely my own). In this role, I collaborate with educators to effectively integrate instructional technology that supports a variety of content areas and pedagogues. I hold a B.S. in social studies and secondary education from Bradley University. I also have a M.A. in educational technology leadership from Concordia University.
I am someone that is passionate about all things I do. I believe that infusing technology into the learning environment, provided that it supports curriculum and pedagogy, allows us to teach 21st century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration. I've witnessed this as a classroom teacher and instructional technology coach.
