I organize "Team Peg", a walk team in the annual Walk to End Alzheimer's. I recruit members, fundraise, and raise awareness for the cause. In 2012, I became a campaign spokesperson for the Greater Pittsburgh Chapter and was featured in advertising campaigns.

The faculty sponsors from the elementary & middle school assisted with organizing an induction ceremony for over 60 students and over 150 attendees.

Partnering with like-minded educators through Prezi can make this dream a reality.

Creating interactive learning experiences for students in all areas of study - and having those incredible creations available to share in a community of tech-savvy, innovative educators with shared goals - is something that can help bridge the education gap and allow teachers to focus efforts on what is really important - the students.

...and make it enlightening, entertaining, and innovative.

It is my dream to share my passion for English with others. I want to take a subject that is often referred to as "boring" ...

"Team Peg" circa 2010

Our high school is known as the "School of Innovation and Design." As an educator, I am constantly challenged to be innovative in my classroom. I innovate my students through the use of technology.

While reading "The Devil in the White City", we created our own World's Fair in our classroom. Students used Prezi to create a presentation that ran at their exhibit for the duration of the fair. Students not only learned valuable researching, writing, and communication skills, but learned how to present and honed their skills with using Prezi.

My Classroom

Students use online tools such as Prezi and Google Drive to complete projects both collaboratively and individually.

I schedule college presentations so my students can explore their options.

Often effective communication and life skills

are learned through reading and writing.

During the 2012-2013 school year, I taught Freshmen Seminar and English 12 grade.

I am an ideal candidate for becoming a Prezi Educator. I work hard to provide my students with the best education possible, and Prezi is a tool that I often use to help me with accomplishing that goal. Becoming a Prezi Educator will expand my knowledge and resources to be able to bring this tool into more classrooms and to more students.

I enjoy using technology in my classroom
