I am a Research Scholar in the Program Evaluation and Education Research (PEER) Group within the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation at NCSU. I have 25 years of experience in education, including almost 20 serving as a teacher in grades K-8. I love that what I do every day continues to benefit students and teachers across the state. My primary expertise is in innovative use and acceptance of technology in education. The work I do helps educators build capacity to provide research-based, engaging instruction and reach across digital gaps.
