Director of Technology

UP Education Network is a nonprofit school management organization whose mission is to rapidly transform chronically underperforming district schools into extraordinary schools that sustain high achievement over time.

As a skilled Director of Technology with a strong background in education and IT systems, I have a proven track record of developing and implementing technology projects that drive business growth and support student achievement. With over six years of experience in educational technology, I have effectively collaborated with school leaders and their teams to ensure seamless integration and alignment of IT into all aspects of school function. My background in managing and maintaining technology equipment, including deployment of staff, student, and classroom technology equipment, coupled with my experience in orchestrating centralized IT purchasing for the Network and supporting annual budget processes make me a valuable asset to any organization. I have also played an instrumental role in the effective support of school deployment of technology for remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. My experience in liaising with key internal departments and external teams ensures strong collaboration and support across all teams. I have a G Suite Administrator certification and am fluent in Windows and iOS operating systems. I am passionate about the operational integration of educational platforms with technology systems and have supervised technology teams and school leaders in developing and implementing long-term technology projects, as well as the development and provision of training curricula for the integration of new IT systems. I am excited to continue leveraging my skills and experience to drive success in any organization.
