From 2009 to 2014 I helped transition a public elementary school in Hawaii to become a Google Apps for Education school, which included providing Google Apps training for teachers and students and taking on the role of Google Apps Super Administrator. Now, I serve as a K-6 Design and Technology Teacher at 'Iolani School's Kaneshiro Center. I became a Google for Education Certified Trainer in 2014. And I've been providing professional development to public and private schools and at conferences for more than 15 years. I've served as a President for HSTE (Hawaii Society for Technology in Education - ISTE affiliate) and now I serve on the Board and lead their PD Committee.
I received my Liberal Arts Degree from Leeward Community College in Hawaii and my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Hawaii in 2007.
I am cofounder and committee member for Edcamp Honolulu and EdCamp West Oahu.
I host my own professional learning blog called EdTechnocation where I share my own EdTech tips, tricks, resources, reviews, and opinions.
I'm also a Virtual and Augmented Reality for Education enthusiast. I've been teaching students in grades 2 - 12 how to use and create their own AR and VR creations since 2016. I run several active Facebooks groups related to different AR and VR EdTech tools (listed below). I also manage ARVREduHub.com and the ARVREduHub blog.
