BIO
I am an education entrepreneur who is deeply passionate about helping students learn. I have been a school teacher, a principal, and most recently, the CPO for the largest online learning company in the world. I have devoted my life to finding a better way and a learning model that's more personal, more social, and more effective. My ultimate test for any new innovations are whether they're good enough for my daughter...if that's a yes, then I know I'm on to something!
