Welcome to Taos Academy. I am the co-founder and Director of Taos Academy. I have been an innovator in education for many years. My career began with teaching middle and HS Sciences in Vermont. After moving to NM and teaching third grade for 12 years, I decided to get my masters in Instructional Technology with an focus on instructional design. This degree allowed my to venture into the early digital learning world. I was the founder and Director of a fully virtual school called Wheeler Peak. With an understanding of both digital and non digital learning best practices, I decided to work on a blended model of education. Taos Academy is the blended model of education envisioned many years ago. Innovation and transformation in education is a passion for me.
