Originally inspired by her influential teachers, Heather has developed her passion for education inside and outside the public school classroom. After earning both her graduate and undergraduate degrees in Education at the University of Maryland, she became a high school history teacher and eventually entered the EdTech space helping EducationSuperHighway tackle insufficient broadband in schools.
