Public Speaker · EdTech Coach · AI Specialist
Hi, I'm Courtney. I truly believe that every teacher should feel confident using EdTech & AI instead of feeling intimidated by it.
I'm a Digital Design & Integration Specialist with strong ties to Humble ISD. For years, I've led professional development across the district, working with some of the most dedicated educators. I don't just talk about EdTech; I work directly with teachers to create practical tools for real classrooms.
As a proud Latina educator and PD Event Lead for Latinas in Tech Houston, I am dedicated to ensuring that diverse voices help shape the AI conversation in schools, not just observe it.
My sessions are welcoming, practical, and energizing. You'll leave feeling ready to try something new.
Every session is tailored to your campus or district goals. Practical, energizing, and built on real classroom experience.
Whether you're new to AI or ready for advanced use, my workshops support educators at any level. Sessions can be tailored to your campus or district goals and offered as half-day, full-day, or virtual events. Topics include classroom AI, student data analysis, types of AI, vibe coding, and more. Each session is customized to your needs.
Invite EdTech on Fire to your campus for professional development that is focused and energizing. Each session is built around your campus goals and can include tools like MagicSchool, Scout, Gemini, and others. Teachers will leave with practical ideas they can use right away.
I offer scalable AI professional development for large groups, from department teams to district-wide events. Each framework is customized for different roles, such as teachers, coaches, and administrators, and delivered with the energy your staff deserves.
