CLASSROOM MOTTO:

PROUDEST MOMENT OF YOUR EDUCATION CAREER:
My proudest moment was being selected as the New York State representative for the PBS Digital Innovator program in 2015. Since then, I have met a multitude of influential educators, and have participated in conferences and webinars that have truly enhanced my practice.
WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A BUNCEE AMBASSADOR?
Buncee has indeed been a game changer for me. After being introduced to it at last year’s ISTE conference, I knew it was something I wanted to try. I love that it is as much a tool for teachers, as it is for students. I signed up for a live webinar with Buncee Education Associate Bryan Gorman last summer, and I was sold. He came to my school to work with students, and will be doing a GHO for my tech club in the future. The support and kindness that Buncee has offered educators has been outstanding. I am proud to be an Ambassador for a company that values education, teachers, and the lifelong learning skills of children. Thank you for the opportunity!
