Labels don't define me.

Each label reveals only an aspect of who I am. I am more than the sum of my parts. I am ME

Oh, almost forgot my 'other' label ...

Supreme Ruler of the Universe (and then I wake up LOL)

I've had many professional labels associated with who I am: Director of Innovation at a County Office of Education, Science Coordinator, Grant Writer, Physics Teacher, AP Biology Teacher, Entomologist, etc., STEAM/PBL/EdTech Coordinator for Santa Clara Unified, but there is one label that I current support within my professional life and that is being a Program Associate for the K-12 Alliance, a program of WestEd. As a Program Associate for WestEd I provide facilitation in professional learning experience around curriculum, instruction and assessment pertaining to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
