I am the Learning Management System (LMS) Administrator for Mesa Public Schools, overseeing the implementation and management of Canvas. My goal is to meet the diverse needs of students, teachers, and parents by creating efficient and sustainable systems for classroom and professional learning use. Since joining the Educational Technology Department in 2012, I have focused on Canvas, our adopted LMS, since 2014, and am currently part of the Information Systems team. Previously, I spent seven years teaching 4th-8th grade, specializing in English Language Learners and the Dual Language Program. I hold an Educational Specialist Degree in Educational Technology from Walden University, a Master's in Bilingual Education from Northern Arizona University, and a Bachelor's in Multilingual/Multicultural Education from Arizona State University. I am certified in elementary and middle school education, endorsed to teach English as a Second Language, and have a Reading Specialist Endorsement.
