- Coolest current project:
- The Common Core Technology Project, which involves multiple moving parts with the ultimate goal to transform our teaching and learning to align with the 21st century workforce. Seeing the look in students' eyes as we roll out technology that they can identify with and get excited about is the absolute coolest part of my job.
- To what extent do you embed IT workers in business units?
- An emerging model in our organization is increasing collaboration with our business units by housing technology employees within the units. This allows the tech employees to live and breathe the business, while simultaneously increasing our business units' appreciation for what technology can do in supporting their strategic goals.
