Education storytelling and strategy
I recently left Apple, where I was a senior manager focused on K-12 education. I'm currently working on a storytelling project called Teachers in Their Power.
Over the past ten years, I worked at four schools before moving into tech to help educators buy homes in expensive cities. I was the 11th employee at Landed, a startup now valued at over $100M, where I was the first marketing hire. At Apple, I pitched and launched Apple Learning Coach — a free professional learning program that trains instructional coaches, digital learning specialists, and other coaching educators to help teachers get more out of technology. I led development of the learning experience design as well as the marketing strategy and built out the program with a talented team.
I value community, compassion, decisiveness, empathy, honesty, and joy. Most of all, I value children.
