Summary

Championing Access and Success for All in STEM. I scale innovations in STEM education near the HS/college boundary, focused on computer science with inclination toward cybersecurity, quantum computing, and machine learning. Experienced in and driven by social justice work, I've led programs scaling curriculum and teacher development to national US scale. I have expertise in instructional design and success in community-building among teachers, students, consumers, and citizens. I've managed complex projects which involved building many partnerships. I'm experienced and award-winning as a classroom teacher across a wide diversity of ages, subjects, and settings. I aim to empower learners, creators, citizens, and consumers to solve real problems in teams.
