CSTANJ CSPDWeek 2026

I absolutely love what I do because every day I have the opportunity to help young learners discover just how capable, creative, and brilliant they really are. One of the things I love most about teaching children at this age is that they’re still dreamers. They haven’t been jaded by life or told all the reasons something can’t be done. They see endless possibilities, and I believe it’s one of my greatest responsibilities to help them protect that sense of wonder. I want my students to know that if they’re willing to learn, work hard, keep growing, and never stop believing in themselves, there’s truly very little they can’t accomplish. Technology is constantly evolving, which means I have to keep evolving too. I’m passionate about staying current with emerging technology, AI, and innovative teaching strategies so I can give my students experiences that prepare them not just for today, but for the future they’ll help create. My goal is to help them become confident, creative, responsible digital citizens who know how to use technology to solve problems, think critically, and make a positive impact on the world. While I enjoy talking about technology, I’m equally passionate about encouraging people. I believe relationships matter. Kindness matters. Patience matters. Some of the greatest lessons we teach don’t come from a computer—they come from making every child feel seen, valued, and capable of success. If there’s one thing I hope my students leave my classroom believing, it’s this: Your dreams are possible. Keep learning, keep growing, and never stop believing in what God has placed inside of you. Come talk to me about…

• Elementary technology and AI integration
• Creative technology projects for young learners
• Student engagement and digital citizenship
• Building confidence and a growth mindset in children
• Lifelong learning and staying relevant in an ever-changing world

I love learning from others just as much as I enjoy sharing what I’ve learned. If we can exchange ideas that inspire children to dream bigger and reach higher, then I’m all in.
