I can lead and assist with any K-16 arts, media, technology, or innovative educational endeavor!
My passion is educational systems change. I support educational institutions and organizations, including schools, districts, and states, towards substantive shifts and measurable progress for the benefit of all students. I believe that with a few key changes in mindsets, understandings, organizational shifts, and updated methods and strategies, educational institutions can rapidly begin to experience positive results.
