About Me
Transforming EdTech & School Innovation | IT & Community Engagement Leader
Technology isn’t just about devices—it’s about opportunity, connection, and empowerment. For over 20 years, I’ve been dedicated to leveraging technology to drive student success, streamline school operations, and create lasting community engagement.
At Roberto Clemente Community Academy, I’ve led:
✔ A 1:1 Chromebook initiative, ensuring all students have access to digital learning.
✔ SmartBoard to ClearTouch upgrades, modernizing classrooms for interactive instruction.
✔ The creation of a web-based asset & data management system, improving efficiency & tracking.
✔ A three-phase recruitment strategy, boosting school enrollment & family engagement.
✔ IT help desk & cybersecurity initiatives, ensuring seamless tech experiences for students & staff.
As an EdTech strategist, IT leader, and community engagement advocate, I believe in the power of data-driven solutions, innovative leadership, and collaborative growth. My passion lies in helping schools & organizations modernize technology, enhance digital learning, and build strong communication networks.
