A little about me...



I work in the Gas & Electric Utility field under the Technical Trades Training department. 

I've recently obtained a new position within the department as an Instructional Writer. I've always loved writing and am excited to start using the tools I learn in the PIDP course for the future.

I'm married to my high school sweetheart and we have 2 beautiful boys ages 3 and 1.
Our household can get rather rambunctious with 3 boys but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I enjoy reading, relaxing, bingeing true crime documentaries and singing obnoxiously loud in the car.
My favorite foods are chicken fettucine alfredo, eggplant parmesan, cheesecake and homemade chocolate chip cookies. 

This season of life is a busy one, but I enjoy making as many memories as I can along the way.


Thanks for reading!💕

You’ll Catch the Shift When... Here’s how I’m shaping my class so students begin to naturally shift from doing the work for a grade to doing it for their growth : 1. They’ll Set the Bar, Not Just Meet It Instead of me telling students what “good” looks like all the time, they’ll work with examples, create their own success criteria, and revisit their goals. In my  Effective Meal Planning course, for example, they’ll co-create a checklist with their team based on what they  think makes a strong meal plan—not just what I think. Why? Because once you define success, yo...

Comments on Brookfield Chapter 8 (Teaching in Diverse Classrooms)

  In The Skillful Teacher , Brookfield (2015) emphasizes the importance of teaching in diverse classrooms. Students come from different backgrounds, experiences, and learning styles, so educators must recognize and respond to these differences. Effective teaching involves acknowledging personal biases, fostering open discussions, and adapting instructional strategies to support all learners. Creating an inclusive and welcoming environment helps students feel valued and engaged. Application in Adult Trades Training As an adult trades instructor, I can apply Brookfield’s ideas by: Recognizing diverse backgrounds – Adult learners bring varied work experiences, skill levels, and learning preferences. I can adapt my teaching to meet their needs. Encouraging open discussions – Creating a space where students share experiences can enhance learning and build confidence. Using multiple teaching methods – Combining hands-on practice, visual aids, and real-world examples ensures all ...
