She is not one to sit back and wait for somebody else to take the lead, she is a leader.

Naomi is open to ideas, takes the lead when necessary and encourages other to take up the leadership role as new ideas develop. She is a tireless supporter of education; encouraging and leading both students and educators. Naomi’s positive influence is contagious. She offers so much enthusiasm as she shares best practices and professional development for educators. She believes in what she does; she is genuine about her passion for educational technology and helping educators improve their practice and engage students while integrating technology.
