ABOUT

I Started my career with a bachelors in business at NAU and international business in the Netherlands.  I then worked on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange as a trader for several years as well as obtaining a Series 7 brokers license and a degree from the New York Institute of Finance in analytics.  After this I earned a K-8 teaching certification from Western Washington University, one of the most revered teaching schools in the U.S.  For the next 8 years I taught in every grade from 5th to 8th in the Snohomish School District and spearheaded several innovative learning design initiatives as well as partnerships with Blue Origin Aerospace, and Fred Hutch Cancer Research.  For the last 9 years I have taught high school CTE (Career & Technical Education) in Seattle Public Schools  and created design and career partnerships with several companies such as Patagonia, Grundens, and NUUN. I am continually innovating in the teaching space embracing AI tools and blockchain solutions.
