With over a decade of classroom experience I am a teacher who loves this work. I have taught in multiple states and countries, introduced new curriculum to my district, piloted technology initiatives, and led workshops for new teachers. I actively explore and integrate AI tools and emerging technologies to support teachers and students, always looking for ways to make learning more engaging and accessible. These opportunities have shaped my belief that education has the power to transform lives and communities. I strive to foster a supportive and equitable environment for both students and staff. I belive that practices like Ikigai which encourages reflection, balance, and sustainable growth are the way to connect AI tools with the human “touch”. Above all, I am passionate about learning and aim every day to inspire others with the joy and possibility that education can bring.
