CRAMER PETERSON, M. Ed. '23

I never anticipated this program would have such a profound impact on my personal and professional growth, yet here I am—completely transformed. The knowledge, skills, and experience I gained during my Master of Education in Teacher Leadership and Technology Integration program have enabled me to make significant and exciting changes in my career. Since beginning the program, I transitioned from a homeroom teacher to the role of Innovation Learning Coordinator at my school. I founded an education consulting company that empowers teachers to create future-ready learning experiences for students and have had the privilege of offering professional development on tech integration and innovation to schools and teachers around the world. I am excited to continue applying what I've learned at BVU, pushing the boundaries of education and inspiring teachers worldwide to create, educate, and innovate for the future!
