First, I am a wife, a mom (to 3 adult children), and an outdoor enthusiast. In the summer and fall, you will find me at a campground or on a hike enjoying the sunshine. In the winter (in Minnesota), I hibernate, read, cook/bake, and watch hockey - Go Wild! Professionally, I have served as a special education teacher and administrator as well as an adjunct professor. My current role as the Director of Professional Programs at Teaching Channel (Learners Edge) allows me the opportunity to develop new professional learning for educators and leaders. From courses and blogs to programs and webinars, I enjoy creating content to help other professionals grow in their practice. Topics of interest include: special education, strategic planning, teacher recruitment and retention, literacy, coaching, use of video, impactful partnerships, and more - just ask!
