Achieving success Together
Inside every learner is a curious explorer, a resilient problem-solver, and a limitless dreamer. With the right support, trust, and resources, anything is probable—and everything is possible.

engagement, equity, & lifelong learning
I’m passionate about empowering educators, elevating learning experiences, and driving meaningful change in the education space. My work is rooted in the belief that technology, when thoughtfully integrated, can unlock new opportunities for both students and teachers.
At the Krause Center for Innovation and Santa Clara County Office of Education, I designed and launched 28+ competency-based credentialing programs and two state certificate programs, equipping educators with tangible, stackable skills to advance their careers.
Through 300+ professional learning sessions with nonprofit organizations like CUE, ISTE, and county education offices, I’ve championed AI literacy, edtech adoption, and the power of joyful digital learning.
I’ve cultivated hundreds of partnerships across K-12 schools, higher education institutions, edtech companies, and nonprofit organizations, engaging 26,000+ educators across California in impactful learning communities and ambassador programs.
At CUE, the Krause Center for Innovation, and Santa Barbara County Education Office, I leveraged data insights to drive a 150% increase in student and educator program engagement, optimize marketing strategies, and scale edtech and computer science initiatives for lasting impact.

The Bridge Podcast
The Bridge is a space to slow down and share the real stories behind our journeys in education — the messy middle, the small wins, and the moments that remind us why we do this work. Each episode, I sit down with educators, leaders, and dreamers who are building, growing, and learning out loud. Together, we talk about mentorship, belonging, and the beautiful tension between where we are and where we’re headed.
This podcast is my love letter to our profession — and a reminder that none of us are crossing this bridge alone.
Power Up Your Learning Space
With a uniquely engaging style, Power Up Your Classroom helps educators understand the benefits of gamification and game-based learning, and empowers them to design learning experiences that leverage gameplay to increase motivation & engagement and build classroom community.
AI Literacy Tags
AI Literacy Tags are a shared language for understanding how, when, and why AI is used in teaching and learning. Each tag highlights a distinct way AI can support thinking — from ideation and composition to analysis and media generation — while promoting ethical, intentional, and reflective use.
Designed for educators, learners, and creators, these tags help make visible the invisible work of AI, encourage responsible attribution, and spark conversation about the role of human agency in every interaction.

My biggest takeaway is that our district NEEDS to hire you to do a PD for our teachers. You are the experts and this needs to be provided for support for us all. Other than that, my big takeaway is the pride I feel in myself for being able to jump in and learn tools that I have never tried.
