A teacher first, a tech person second.

Long before creating The Hart of Tech, my work began with listening deeply to people's stories. Earning a MFA in documentary filmmaking taught me how to observe with genuine curiosity and respect what matters most to someone.

I carried that human-centered foundation into education, completing advanced graduate studies in Educational Leadership, Instructional Technology, and Digital Literacy, and spending over a decade teaching media, digital literacy, and technology for Cambridge Public Schools and Harvard. Working with learners of all ages taught me the most important rule of teaching: you adapt to the person's individual pace, not to a rigid lesson plan.

After a few years of leading complex digital projects and data systems in the tech industry, I saw how fast-paced modern technology was isolating capable adults. Today, I combine an educator's patience with tech industry rigor to give clients true digital agency.
