    Innovative Ed. Tech Company

    At IXR I lead the design of immersive learning experiences that blend virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and neuroscience to help people learn with clarity, confidence, and connection. We build virtual classrooms, training environments, and collaborative spaces where learning feels emotionally resonant and truly human.

    TK-12 Educational Leadership

    25 Years in Public Education

    I’ve spent 25 years in public education, beginning in the classroom where I was named Teacher of the Year in 2011. I served in multiple administrative roles across TK–12 before co-founding and leading a California public school that redefined how learning can work for all students.

    As CEO, I expanded Career Technical Education, Arts, and Athletics, while building a model centered on voice, choice, and belonging. Under my leadership, the school earned designation as a California Distinguished School, achieved a 98% teacher retention rate, and closed achievement gaps year over year for underserved students through proven, data-driven results.

    I also co-created cutting edge professional development that redefines learning in this technological age—equipping educators to personalize instruction and integrate immersive tools like VR and AI to create powerful, future-ready experiences.

    Consulting and Strategic Vision

    Co-Creating Your Vision

    My consulting work is built on 25 years of experience in public education and a track record of making bold decisions to do things differently when the traditional system fell short. I’ve led from the classroom, the boardroom, and the front lines of innovation, and I bring that full perspective to every partnership.

    I work with school districts, education leaders, and organizations that are ready to reimagine what learning can be. Whether we’re designing curriculum, launching immersive programs, integrating new technologies, or rethinking systems altogether, I help turn vision into meaningful action.

    Much of my work today is shaped by what I’ve built in my time in public education.I bring hands-on experience in virtual reality, AI, and learner-centered design, always anchored in what works for real students and educators. If you're ready to create something future-ready, I’d love to collaborate.

Moments with Meg is where I share the thoughts, stories, and lessons that shape my journey. Sometimes it’s about leadership and innovation. Other times it’s a personal reflection or a moment that made me pause. It’s not always perfect, but it’s always honest. I’m building, learning, creating, and doing my best to stay grounded through it all.

You’re welcome here just as you are. I hope something you read stays with you.
