Welcome to my personal webpage.  I am excited that you stopped by to learn more.  Be sure to follow me on Twitter at @scibri or LinkedIn.

I have been working public education for over 25 years.  I grew up in Western North Carolina where I learned the value of education, hard work, and perseverance.  As a native Appalachian, I was able to witness the value of education first hand in transforming the lives of others.  My twin sister and I were first generation college students.  Our parents instilled a love of learning in each of us while they reminded us of the importance serving others  and always being humble and kind.   It is these lessons that have served me well in public education.

I started off as a high school chemistry and science teacher at Salisbury High School (an extraordinary high school with awesome students).  During that time, I launched the school's first ever AP Chemistry program and the NC Teacher Cadet program.  I also created two STEM electives called Virtual Reality I and II where students learned how to problem solve, thinking critically, collaborate, communication, and think creatively.  It was my love of technology integration and helping others that led me to be become an Instructional Technology Facilitator at China Grove Middle School for three years (a phenomenal middle school with some amazing students).  During the 2018-19 school year, I served as a Design Thinking / Challenge Based Learning Instructor at North Rowan High School where I helped students develop skills in critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity (the 4Cs) in addition to problem solving and student agency.  During the 2020-21 school, I was honored to serve as Instructional Design Coach at Jesse C Carson High School where I assisted teachers with implementing digital and hybrid learning for students during the pandemic.

Currently, I am a Digital Teaching & Learning Consultant with the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (DPI) where I serve the Piedmont Triad Region.  I look forward to supporting the districts and schools that I serve with maximizing digital teaching and learning as we seek to #ChangetheEquation for our students.
