I love finding new ways of using the Internet to educate and engage. At Edutopia/GLEF, I'm helping to advance our strategy to inspire, inform and stimulate education reform and culture especially as it relates to 21st century approaches to teaching and learning. I welcome your feedback on what we can do to help all of you be most effective!

Previously, I served as senior vice president, interactive and education, for the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), where I had the privilege of leading the creation and growth of pbs.org and its suite of Internet sites, including pbskids.org, pbsparents.org, and pbsteachersource.org. I started my career with online learning services way back in 1988, when I coordinated customer support for Learning Link, one of the premier online networks for K-12 classrooms.

I'm also a proud mom with two children in public schools.
