I have been teaching for over 25 years. I have experience teaching all subjects in 5th grade, 4th grade, 3rd grade, and as the Computer/Technology k-8 STREAM teacher. I enjoy learning about new technology and sharing what I have learned with others. I love attending and presenting at conferences. I serve on the National Committee for Latin & Greek, the Excellence Through Classics Committee, and the Technology Committee for the American Classical League. I am the Director for Outreach for Ancient Coins for Education. I have served as a Teacher Ambassador for Carnegie Mellon University's CREATE Lab and as an educational Ambassador for other Ed Tech companies including TouchCast, Padcaster, Quizlet, Gimkit, Duolingo, BrainPop, Common Sense Media, Applied Digital Skills, GooseChaseEDU, StickTogether, and others.
