GreatSchools / 2010-2016 / Senior Content Producer

I wrote and produced content and tools to help English and Spanish speaking parents support their children’s education.

The GreatKids Milestones videos help parents understand grade-level expectations under Common Core Standards in reading, math, and writing.

I created text-messaging programs that supported parents with their children’s reading and I produced animated lessons for a parent education program called College Bound.

LeapFrog / 2003-2010 / Senior Producer

I led the content development of learning toys and games for young children, including best-sellers such as the Shapes and Sharing Picnic Basket. I designed and project-managed products from concept to launch, with a project load of 15-20 toys.

I also managed the content team’s budget and schedule and conducted product testing with kids in schools and in the onsite lab.

Key Curriculum Press / 2001-2003 / Editorial Assistant

I assisted editors in the development of manuscripts for math textbooks and workbooks and I led the development of supplemental materials. I loved Key Curriculum’s approach to teaching math, which was to allow students to discover concepts on their own through guided projects and play.
