​I work daily with district and school leaders and educators in leveraging technology and innovation in meaningful ways to transform teaching and learning. 

I believe
  • Innovative teachers need innovative leaders
  • Teachers need tools, trust, and support to innovate
  • Every professional development workshop is an opportunity to model instructional strategies
  • Meaningful use of technology is a strong lever for equity in education
  • Digital Equity and Access is a moral imperative
  • ​Leaders need to inspire creativity & innovation by Leading Outside the Box
