About me

I believe in innovation, disruption, and strategic thinking to promote continuous improvement, and am dedicated to developing dynamic instructional strategies as a means of creating and nurturing a lifelong love of knowledge in students and educators. I have worked to bring educators from multiple districts together to implement a common instructional language for educators across PA which is designed to build a bridge between their actions in the classroom and their actions in a virtual learning environment. To complement this focus on innovative instruction, I am the state co-lead for the PAIU Hub on OER Commons. Through this work, I frequently deliver local, statewide, national, and global presentations to educators highlighting the grassroots movement in PA to adopt and implement Open Educational Resources as a fiscal reallocation driver that empowers teachers to provide culturally relevant, rigorous instruction to students, and promotes increased student achievement through the Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education (ISKME) and their #GoOpen Network.
