Experience

Teaching style

My teaching approach centers on authentic project-based learning that integrates multiple subjects and real-world applications. Drawing from my 20+ years as a computer science educator, I create comprehensive PBL units that combine digital literacy, critical thinking, and hands-on exploration. My lesson plans feature step-by-step project guides, differentiated learning pathways, and embedded technology integration for grades K-12. Each resource is designed to support both traditional classroom settings and distance learning environments, with clear learning objectives and assessment rubrics.

My own education history

My diverse educational background combines psychology (B.A., Mount St. Mary's), computer science (Practical Engineering), and Educational Technology Leadership (M.A., George Washington University). This unique blend of expertise allows me to create pedagogically sound, technologically innovative resources that support modern learning objectives and 21st-century skills development.
