Curiosity fuels my work. Colleagues describe me as an inquisitive powerhouse, always asking "what if" and championing the "mission not impossible" mentality.  This insatiable curiosity, coupled with an empathetic understanding of user needs, has fueled my passion for EdTech over the past 15+ years.

My journey began in the classroom as an educator. From there, I transitioned to technology integration and became a Google Innovator. These experiences provided a unique vantage point, allowing me to bridge the gap between research and practical application.  I now leverage this perspective to create innovative yet practical EdTech solutions that empower both educators and learners.

As a Product Manager at Capstone Publishing, I thrived on utilizing my deep understanding of the k12 education landscape to drive impactful product development 

Deep User Understanding:  I possess a keen ability to understand user needs. By leveraging data and insights, I prioritize features that truly enhance the user experience.

Collaboration & Communication:  I thrive in collaborative environments, fostering strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels.

Leadership & Innovation:   My experience leading product development and crafting product visions positions me to contribute to cutting-edge solutions within the EdTech space.

But my dedication goes beyond product creation. I'm a lifelong learner, constantly seeking ways to expand educational opportunities through technology. 

A few of my career highlights include:

• Empowered 1200+ educators nationwide with the skills to lead in computer science education!

• Led a graduate program at Tufts University while contributing to cutting-edge research with the DevTech Research group in Boston.

• Founded Foquas Learn, a company dedicated to providing educators with the tools they need to thrive and retain their certifications.

• Developed a program that empowers adults to confidently support the development of toddlers.
