About

I’m an educator, advocate, and thought leader with over a decade of experience teaching social studies in rural, suburban, and urban middle and high school classrooms. My journey is guided by a deep commitment to empowering students and preparing them for success in an increasingly complex, digital, and interconnected world.

I’ve had the privilege of presenting at state conferences, such as the Utah Coalition for Educational Technology (UCET), where I’ve shared innovative strategies to promote equity and integrate technology into the classroom. Recognized for impactful technology implementation, I’ve received district awards for fostering critical thinking and creativity through digital tools.

Beyond the classroom, I collaborate with state policymakers to advocate for policies that support students and teachers. I’ve also organized events where students engage directly with legislators, giving them real-world opportunities to deepen their understanding of government and civic participation.

As a military veteran, my perspective on leadership, responsibility, and service shapes my approach to education and advocacy. This diverse background enhances my ability to connect with students and colleagues while driving meaningful change.
