// Monday, 12:40 - 1:30 //
First and foremost, I am an innovator whose passion to see education transformed drives everything I do. I want to see innovative learning become the constant and leadership become the catalyst to foster a 21st century learning ecosystem. How will this happen? It takes a willingness to join in the crucial conversations that are happening around disruptive technologies, social media and new leadership paradigms.

1. Led the marketing and school support efforts to propel the North Carolina Virtual Public School to the 2nd largest state virtual school in the United States. 2. Led the development and integration of 3 instructional technology initiatives in conjunction with ISTE, SAS and the NC Department of Public Instruction for Lenoir County Public Schools. 3. Led the development of the Advanced Manufacturing Center of Excellence for the NC Global TransPark Education and Training Center. 4. Led the development and management of Lenoir Community College's distance learning program from 1 to 15 online courses in 1 year. 5. Led the development of new national standards for outcomes-based performance indicators for online learning programs.
