About Me.
Previously I was SVP, Product Development at LearnPlatform where I led Product, Engineering, and Research teams to fulfill our mission of expanding equitable access for all students to teaching and education technology that works. We pursued this mission by helping districts organize, streamline, and analyze education technology to save time, save money, and improve outcomes. LearnPlatform’s edtech effectiveness system is used by schools and districts serving more than 4 million students around the US. Prior to LearnPlatform, I led the interdisciplinary teams responsible for Curriculum Pathways, no-cost educational software from SAS. Curriculum Pathways included more than 2,000 resources, tools, and apps for P-12+ education. It was used in all 50 states and more than 135 countries around the world by 5 million educators and students. Curriculum Pathways included standards-aligned apps and resources like Crio, an authoring tool for educators to create interactive, digital lessons customized for their students. I received my PhD in computer science from North Carolina State University, where our research focused on affective reasoning in intelligent learning environments. I also hold an MS in computer science from North Carolina State University and a BS in computer science from Susquehanna University. I am a co-author of Mobile Learning: A Handbook for Developers, Educators, and Learners.
