About Me

Who am I?

First and foremost, I am a wife and mother to four amazing kids. I am currently an instructional technologist with a focus on accessibility and media at a local community college. I have my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Houston - Victoria and am currently working on completing my Masters in Education with a focus on Instructional Technology.

My Why

Each one of my children is so unique in both their outlooks and personalities that sometimes I wonder how they came from the same home with the same parents. Amazing how that works! But their uniqueness is the driving force behind my why. Why I do what I do. Why I am so passionate about educational technology and its ability to open the doors to information for everyone. Seeing each of my children with their own set of strengths and struggles working to be successful in a one-size-fits-all educational system has often led me to question are we doing the best that we can for all of our kids? Are we providing them the tools and knowledge to independently be successful not only in the class they are in but in the world outside of the education system? Unfortunately, the answer to that question is more often than not...No. This is not because teachers don’t care or aren’t trying, but because we are often not giving them the training and tools they need to succeed. I wholeheartedly believe that educational technology is a key tool to that success. When used correctly, it is what will be key to the educational success of all students in all learning environments and modalities; especially, those students with physical and learning disabilities.
