I started my career as a high school social studies teacher in western Nebraska. I spent the early years of my career teaching in an alternative high school and quickly realized how technology could open up a world of possibilities for my students. I eventually became a Google Certified Teacher and Google Trainer which indirectly led me to the corporate side. I have been with Hāpara in some capacity for nearly 6 years.

I’m an introvert so I tend to not talk much unless I feel like I have something of value to add to the conversation. I’m thrilled to be here on this platform where I see so many names I recognize from years of networking!
