Contracted Faculty of Practice
I am a mother, teacher, tech guru, Montessorian, student advocate, and schnauzer enthusiast. I enjoy creating ways to automate mundane tasks so that I have more time to enjoy going on adventures with my daughter and partner. Knitting is one way that I keep focused during meetings.
I honestly believe that all students can learn, and will learn when given the tools they need to be successful. This means voice and choice in how they learn, and especially how they show their learning. It is my great honor to work with students and staff to use innovative alternative ways of showing learning rather than traditional tests, presentations, and posters.
