I was a classroom teacher in Oakdale Joint Unified School District for 25 years. During that time, I was a mentor teacher for 11 student teachers, a BTSA trainer, Support Provider, and taught a summer class for Brandman University. Since leaving the classroom, I have worked as an academic coach and Induction Mentor for the past 7 years in Oakdale, a technology trainer in a nearby district, and an instructor for Teachers College of San Joaquin. I am a certified Google Educator, Leading Edge Digital Educator, and Leading Edge Professional Learning Leader, who loves to share ways to integrate technology into the classroom, and wholeheartedly believes in the value of teachers collaborating with one another.
