I believe that all children are makers innately, and there is no better way to connect concrete learning concepts than through the process of building and designing authentic solutions to real-world problems. 

 

About Me

Welcome to my site! I am a Dallas native and I have worked in educational technology in independent K12 education for the past fourteen years. I live in a suburb of Dallas with my husband and our two children. I currently serve as the Director of Technology at Preston Hollow Presbyterian School. Where we support and celebrate students with learning differences that primarily impact reading, written, and oral language deficits. I am a DISC Behavioral Assessment Certified facilitator and the co-owner of Insight Learning Lab LLC, a data-driven leadership development consulting company, where we focus on insightful conversations around growth, balance, and self. I previously worked at Greenhill School and Good Shepherd Episcopal School where I spent many years in K-12 classrooms and leadership roles in educational technology.

I have been working as a K-12 Educational Technologist for fifteen years in independent schools, while also serving as a consultant for the Lausanne Learning Institute, a mentor for the Association of Technology Leaders in Independent School’s Leadership Institute, and volunteering as the District 5810 Rotary Youth Leadership Camp’s Curriculum Coordinator. I have a background in arts and humanities which I draw inspiration from when I help schools build communities that support innovative teaching practices. I have been working in iPad, Chromebook, Windows, Apple, and BYOD laptop environments for my entire career and I am passionate about how technology can reinvent the learning environment. I believe deeply in the maker movement and I have seen the benefits of hands-on STEAM education in K12 learning. I feel that all children are makers innately, and there is no better way to connect concrete learning concepts than through the process of building and designing authentic solutions to real-world problems. 

In 2017-2018 I was a cohort member of the Association for Technology in Independent Schools (ATLIS) Early Career and Aspiring Technology Directors Institute (ECATD). I had the honor of winning the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) PLN Independent School Innovative Educator Award Winner in July of 2019. During that same summer I was awarded my Masters of Arts in Educational Technology Leadership. I have been on an amazing journey where I have been afforded the opportunity to learn from amazing technology educators and look forward to what’s to come.
