About Me
I am a first-year doctoral student with far too many focuses/interests at the moment, mostly centered around hands-on learning and technology integration in elementary schools. My aim is to support all students, especially marginalized students, to discover their love of learning and to have exposure, access, and support to experiences that allow them to find their own definition of a successful, meaningful life.
Prior to joining the doctoral program at the Stanford Graduate School of Education, I taught in the elementary classroom in a historically under-resourced school district, where I also served as the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Coordinator and the Director of Curriculum & Instruction. During the time in the district office, I built out a system of makerspaces to help infuse creativity and hands-on learning into students’ school experiences. Following the school district, I worked in our local county office of education, supporting in the fields of maker education and technology integration before leading the STEAM (add Arts into the prior acronym) team of curriculum coordinators as the STEAM Center Director.
