Summary
Over ten years leadership experience in managing Information and Educational Technology and Organizational Technology Change. I want to affect a positive influence upon the learning community by revolutionizing collaboration and communication among staff and students, through the use of cloud computing, green practices, and global collaboration.
Recent achievements include the successful implementation of a 1:1 Chromebook program for two schools (grades 1-6 and 7-12) and previously rebuilding of an entire school's infrastructure utilizing Microsoft technology (including hardware and software). Subsequently, DECA was one of Dayton's first schools to successfully migrate to cloud computing through the adoption of Google Apps for Education.
Because of my unique background with degrees and certifications in both education and technology, I am passionate about providing staff and students with the best possible environment for success in the 21st century.
