About Me
I’m an educator, author, and Vice President of Global Educational Strategy at VEX Robotics.
My teaching experience continues to shape my writing and work in STEM education.
My book, What STEM Can Do for Your Classroom, brings classroom experience and practical STEM strategies to K–6 educators.
At VEX Robotics, I oversee curriculum development and classroom integration across our educational platforms.
My work focuses on research-based STEM education, differentiated instruction, and assessment. I’ve collaborated with the University of Florida’s CS Everyone Center on STEM/CS education research funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the University of Maryland.
I hold a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from PennWest University and an undergraduate degree in Elementary Education from Geneva College.
Before joining Robomatter in 2015, later absorbed by VEX Robotics, I taught in Pennsylvania. I worked with public school districts on educational standards and professional development for educators.
That classroom experience continues to guide my conversations with teachers, school leaders, parents, and policymakers.
