My Work in Education.

Emily (she/her) is an Apple Distinguished Educator and has worked in educational technology for over ten years in various tech-related roles. Initially a Creative in the Apple Store @ Stonestown in San Francisco, the experience motivated her to pursue a Masters degree in Digital Media and Learning (at USF).

Emily has worked in K-12 independent schools in the Bay Area since 2014 and is passionate about transforming teaching and learning — supporting people, not devices.

This leads us to install Akai MPK mini Editor for macOS, which also leads us to discover it crashes on every version macOS preceding v. 11. Hmm. Thinking, thinking. WHAT IF I could prompt Claude AI to help me create a piece of custom software where I can still program the Aki mini, save to its hardware program memory, AND convert its output to 5-pin MIDI so it can share the Nord Electro’s sound engines? Let’s just say I am stoked. #nordelectro6d #akaimini2 #claudeai #livemusic #alwayslearning #morecuriousthancertain #keyboard #musician
This magical and spiritual human has been a human angel for my best friend and partner. God is good.

Student feedback is super important and something I ask for after every class I teach. This has been a really tough year, and it’s really nice to have a reminder about why we do what we do. Ask for feedback from your students! That’s how

What Makes Me Proud

  • Video: CUE BOOM - Fall, 2019

    In 2019, I gave a 3-minute “TED”-like talk at the Fall CUE conference. At the time, I was teaching sound production and sound art electives to middle schoolers and had many awesome insights to share. I focused on how GarageBand for iPad (or any audio app, really) can change the way students learn and connect to themselves and the world around them.

  • Apple Distinguished Educator (2019)

    In 2019, I was accepted as an Apple Distinguished Educator, which was an incredible honor and distinction. This has transformed my career and provided invaluable connections and mentors.

    As part of the initial application, I created a 2-minute video. Click below to watch.
