As an Instructional Technology Coach, I work with K-5 staff and students to integrate technology to support and enhance teaching and learning. Coaching and teaching technology integration for over twenty-five years, there has always been something new and exciting to learn!
In 2014, I was given the green light to create a MakerSpace! The students love it! After creating the MakerSpace, redesigned the overall vision to include the Library - our \\\\\\"Digital Hub\\\\\\". The Library connects students to various centers to research, design, create, and collaborate while integrating STEAM and the engineering design process. The Hub connects the Library, Broadcast Room, Maker Corner, Computer Lab, and MakerSpace. 2017 FETC STEM Excellence Award

When I\\\\\\'m not searching for ways to assist my staff, I enjoy spending time with the family, searching out new bike trails, hiking, reading, and the Redskins!! I look forward to meeting all of you and learning about the amazing work you do!
