I am currently a Digital Education Coordinator for Rapid City Area Schools. My role is providing staff development for teachers in the elementary grades PreK-5 with integrating digital technologies in the classroom. Although my focus is on elementary, I also work with middle and high school teachers on various projects and software. This work takes me to 15 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 3 high schools and connects me with over 1,200 amazing educators.

My background is elementary education. I taught 5th grade for 6 years and 3rd grade for 1 year. Although my role in the district is staff development, I still enjoy working with students to create engaging projects involving 21st century tools.
