As a consultant, I have regained my footing in the world of facilitation and coaching and have been working with local school districts, ed tech professionals, and public, private, and non-profit corporations. I look forward to contributing a whole host of enhanced and honed skills to the next entity where I learn and work. My passion is creating learning environments for adults that are interactive, meaningful, and inspire them to take action. I am fortunate to have extensive experience in education as a consultant on learning styles for more effective presentations. As a trainer and facilitator for over 25 years, I take great pride in bringing groups together to examine their practices, learn new skills, and eventually see real transformative change. In my previous positions, I have served as both the Director of Professional Learning and the Director of Effective Teachers and Leaders for the Arizona Department of Education instilling more creative and collaborative working environments for schools, LEAs, and internal department staff. In my most recent post, I served for several years as Chief Academic Officer in the Yuma Union High School District after serving as the Director of Ready Now Yuma, an initiative celebrating College, Career, and Community preparedness.
