By profession, I am a technology and design educator. I’m currently employed as the Technology Specialist for Honey Creek Community School in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I teaching technology to students in grades K-8, as well as planning and maintaining the school’s technology infrastructure.
I am certified in Technology & Design Education (TX, grades K-12) and Communication/Theater Arts (BD, grades 6-12) in the state of Michigan. The combination of my technological background and my artistic pursuits means I use a range of different methods, technologies, and projects in my teaching. My mission as a teacher is to teach technological literacy and help my students become thoughtful members of society who take joy in solving problems and using technology to help them achieve their personal goals.
I’ve also taught at Wayne County Community College District and the College for Creative Studies.
