I've always been curious about the world around me and have loved learning. This excitement for personal growth led me first to teaching and sharing this joy with my students to becoming a Digital Learning Specialist for the Bethel School District. In this position, I get to combine my desire to learn and teach with helping to build a digital learning model.
My current interests include helping develop a badging system for both professionals and students that helps showcase growth, skills and expertise, gamification of learning to help increase engagement, and personalizing professional development to help create meaningful and beneficial experiences.
In my spare time, I love spending time with my friends and family (including my puppies!), enjoying the beautiful outdoors, reading and finding a great cup of coffee (a true Northwest gal!).
