Although I am considered an “animated and dynamic speaker" comfortable in any size group, I also enjoy facilitating the learning for educators and small business owners who need specialized training and customized skill development.Â
I bring to Expanding Education over 15 years of private business industry,  30+ years of administrative experience, teaching computer science, and technology.  This included secondary classroom instruction, adjunct University levels, Manager at a County Office of Education, and Director at a school district. Looking forward to sharing skills and best practices.Â
