​I have been a successful classroom teacher and hybrid learning course developer for over 18 years and I have a deep devotion to and passion for education. I completed my PhD in Curriculum and Teaching in 2017, I have been a Google Certified Educator (levels 1 and 2) for over 10 years, integrating Google and Microsoft into my daily practice.

My passion is to teach and inspire others in the use of Microsoft and Google to develop efficient processes, improve efficiency, and increase confidence. Working as an independent consultant gives me the perfect opportunity to share that passion with my fellow educators, administrators, staff and students of all ages.

I am also a Professional Learning Specialist with NCCE, the Northwest Council for Computer Education working with educators across the country in implementing hybrid/blending learning models using a wide array of tech solutions, including Google Workplace for Education.

Although I was born here in the US, I am a British citizen: my family hails from Liverpool, England and most weekends (and some weekdays!) you’ll find me cheering on my favorite football team, Liverpool Football Club (go REDS!) who won the English Premier league after 30 long years of waiting!!
