Bio: I have served New Jersey as an educator for the past 11 years. My work, at the local and state level, has been consistently grounded in the infusion of 21st Century learning skills and technological trends, differentiating instruction to meet the needs of a wide array of learners, fostering positive teacher-student relationships, and using data to inform meaningful instruction. Through employing expertise in the areas of professional learning communities, inquiry-based learning, and new literacies, my activities and accomplishments in the field have grown to encompass every aspect of the learning experience. I have facilitated multiple professional development workshops with a concentration on research-based instructional strategies, educational technologies, and student engagement.
