About the store
Hi there! Welcome to KT Education Solutions, formerly Growing New Scientists!
I'm a former science teacher with a passion for making STEM, AI, and digital literacy accessible, engaging, and relevant for every learner. I've taught high school biology, anatomy, forensics, and algebra, and I've supported educators from kindergarten through graduate school as a department head, instructional coach, and curriculum director. I've been recognized at the district and state level and have presented at conferences across the K-12 and higher education space.
Over the years, my work has grown beyond just the science classroom. I lead AI and digital literacy professional development for educators, have spearheaded educational technology initiatives at the school level, and have created self-paced AI and digital literacy curriculum now used by districts nationwide. I am proud to partner with schools and teachers to build the future-ready learning experiences students deserve.
I am passionate about equipping the next generation, and their teachers, with the STEM skills, critical thinking, and future ready skills to change the world.
