Professional Story
My interest in teaching began in high school. However, after completing a required course on classroom technology at Indiana University, I was inspired to combine my focus in education with technology. I have learned how technology can enhance work flow and communication between teachers, students, parents and the outside community when implemented effectively. I recently graduated from IU with a degree in Elementary Education and a Computer Educator License. I am excited to apply what I have learned about how technology can be used to facilitate student learning.
