I entered the classroom for the first time over 25 years ago. When I started teaching, I was passionate about exposing students to new ideas and different ways of thinking which is why I primarily taught world religions and obtained my MRE. 

​

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. My family and I were displaced for several months due to the storm. As a teacher at the time, I watched as my students and my own children were disrupted from their studies and simultaneously disconnected from their classroom community. I was frustrated and knew at that moment that I wanted to figure out how to prevent something like this from happening in the future. 

​

When I moved schools, I was immediately impressed with the technological equipment available and made it a mission to learn as much as I could and incorporate as much of the tech as possible into my own classrooms. Once we contracted with our first LMS, I knew my future was in this type of tech.

Since 2020, as educators switched between hybrid and online/distance learning due to COVID-19, I have been proud to support teachers in navigating this new norm and as we move back into classrooms full-time, support teachers in engaging tech to maximize their classroom spaces and educational instruction.
