Learning & Development

As an educator for 18 years, I have experience at the elementary, secondary, and district levels. My various experiences have helped me design and implement inclusive learning experiences modeling how to empower all learners to think, create, share and grow. I have utilized face-to-face instruction and training, project-based learning, personalized learning, and simultaneous hybrid learning. My passion is to identify learning opportunities that will enable people to strengthen their skills and practice in the field. For me, the excitement comes from finding solutions to bridge the gap between what a learner knows, needs to know, and needs to do. My process is simple; examine the data to identify the needs and skills of the organization and the people; then develop learning that is informed by the data while keeping the learner at the center of the task. Lastly, evaluate the learning and revise as necessary.  

CERTIFICATIONS:

I have held Google Learning Suite for Education Level I & II Certifications, FlipGrid Educator, Wakelet Ambassador and Apple Teacher Certifications. 

EDUCATION:

I hold a Master in Library and Information Science from the Texas Woman's University, a BS in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Texas-Arlington, and a Program Certificate in Principal Education from Lamar University.
