My Story

I began teaching by happy accident at 18 years old. I found a passion for technology and taught a group of adult learners basic Microsoft Office skills for Odessa College. That experience led me to pursue my undergraduate degree in Education with an additional focus in English and Computer Information Systems. I began teaching coding, multimedia, business computers, English, print media (yearbook), and digital media (broadcasting). In the second half of my teaching career, I took a new role, coaching teachers and students to learn and use emerging technologies. This role allowed me to learn more about the coaching cycle and create environments that foster ownership and autonomy for learners of any age. The last four years of my teaching career were spent with student leaders who proved that anyone can become a leader or entrepreneur when they own their shine and embrace their unique talents and skills.

From there, I began coaching others in my spare time to improve and develop their personal and professional skills. Additionally, I started a career in the educational technology industry. This role has allowed me to work with multiple groups of people globally and continue expanding my experience with empowering others.
