Experience

As the founder and CEO of Project Pals, I specialize in creating comprehensive project-based learning resources for K-12 educators. Our award-winning platform has helped thousands of teachers implement effective PBL strategies across STEM, humanities, and interdisciplinary subjects. With over 20 years of educational technology experience, I've developed hundreds of ready-to-use digital lesson plans, project templates, and assessment tools that align with Common Core and NGSS standards. My expertise spans curriculum design, educational technology integration, and innovative teaching methodologies that prepare students for real-world success.

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.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Project Pals proudly received the 2020 Common Sense Selection for Learning, recognizing our platform's excellence in educational technology and project-based instruction. This prestigious award from Common Sense Education validates our commitment to creating high-quality digital learning resources that enhance student engagement and achievement. Our project-based curriculum materials are used by educators nationwide to facilitate meaningful, standards-aligned learning experiences.

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.

Additional biographical information

Beyond creating educational resources, I am passionate about arts integration in STEM education. My experience as an artist and outdoor enthusiast influences my approach to creating engaging, multi-disciplinary projects that connect classroom learning to real-world applications. I regularly update my resources based on teacher feedback and emerging educational trends.
