Accidental cat mom (my dog requires me to hold that title) and CMO @edutopia.org. Here to learn from educators, stay outnumbered by cute pets, and get the scoop on whatever you ordered off the breakfast menu.

One thing (of many) that I 🧡 about the @edutopia.org community: Educators always show up to support each other. 🫂 I asked who are the MUST-follow voices in education online. Over *700* comments FILLED w/ recommendations across our channels (Facebook, Instagram, + our Ask & Answer forum) 🤯
