Whether it’s edtech, social studies, curriculum, or educational leadership, I offer engaging and insightful talks to inspire your team and spark innovative thinking.

I deliver hands-on training sessions that delve into effective use of edtech, creative social studies curriculum design, and leadership strategies that drive success in education.

Let’s explore how AI is changing assessments and the potential implications for your educational institution.
