Hello!

I am excited to be supporting your campus this year as your ITS, and I can't wait to work with you! Prior to joining the Instructional Technology team, I was a secondary science teacher for 11 years. I also served as an Instructional Coach for Science. I have a Bachelors in Interdisciplinary Studies with a minor in Biology and Geology science. I also have a Masters in Education dergree (M.Ed.) with an emphasis in Science. I enjoy working in all content areas and would love to help you reach the goals that you have for yourself and your students. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, especially when hiking and camping.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to dramatically impact how we teach and learn in the future. Currently, NEISD does not allow students to use AI tools on district devices or the NEISD WIFI. However, teachers are allowed to use AI to help support them.

Use the AI Toolkit to...

  • Find some of our favorite AI tools
  • Review the official district AI policy
  • Learn the Dos and Don'ts of prompting AI
  • Get tips on making the most out of your AI output

So what can AI do for you?

  • Generate ideas for lesson activities
  • Plan questions at different depths of knowledge
  • Create rubrics and assessments
  • Help provide feedback for students
  • And much, MUCH more!
