About Me
As the Classroom Technology Trainer for Olathe Public Schools, I have the incredible opportunity to support and empower every teacher in our district in implementing different instructional technologies in their classrooms in meaningful and manageable ways.
My previous experience as a 4th grade teacher, passion for technology tools, and desire to continue learning drive me to bridge the gap between complex digital tools and practical, stress-free classroom implementation.
Whether working face-to-face, digitally, or designing asynchronous content, I love the opportunity to think flexibly about what technology use looks like in the classroom and work collaboratively with teachers and support staff to problem solve and implement new ideas!
