Bio:
With 40 years of teaching experience, I've always been an innovator in my classroom. As a Certificated Learning and Achievement Specialist in the Santa Ana Unified School District, I enjoy supporting teachers with a focus on delivering high-quality, meaningful learning experiences through Canvas LMS. I spend my days supporting teachers, support staff, and administrators in all things instructional technology. I’m a Google Certified Trainer, Canvas Certified Educator, & I hold a California Certificate for Online & Blended Instruction. In my spare time, I provide in-person and virtual trainings for educators across the country. I love sharing ideas and experiences to help make teaching better. I’m also a mom, BSA ASM, long-time math teacher & High Powered Rocketry mentor. In addition, I have the privilege of serving as the current President of Orange County CUE.
