What do like most about working at Chalkboard?
I appreciate that we are a small team that all has the same laser focus. We all believe in the importance of improving the educational experience for all students, and most importantly, involving teachers in the conversations on how to improve the experience of their students.

What do you love about Oregon?
I love that Oregon is such an amazingly beautiful state. We have gorgeous mountain peaks, a beautiful coast line that everyone has access to, as well as the high desert area in the central and eastern portions of our state. I love the outdoors and the vast variety of ways we can experience nature.
