About me
For the past 11 years, I've had the privilege of teaching Career and Technical Education while also co-owning multiple small businesses. Those two worlds have shaped my passion for creating authentic, industry-driven learning experiences that help students connect classroom learning to real-world application.
My presentations focus on helping educators bridge the gap between classroom learning and the real world through entrepreneurship, leadership, financial literacy, and industry-based learning. I enjoy sharing practical strategies that can be adapted across CTE pathways and leave teachers with ideas they can implement right away.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my two young boys, who keep my hands full and my heart even fuller. Whether I'm creating new curriculum, tackling a home project, or dreaming up the next big idea, I'm always looking for meaningful ways to learn, build, and grow.
