The thread that unites my professional choices, education focus and personal interest can be summed up in two words,
education and technology. Working with one teacher, one campus or one district at a time I am committed to supporting the
changes k12 education requires to ensure students succeed individually and that teachers are empowered with technology
to create, deliver, and support relevant curriculum and engage our 21st century digital native learners.
