She is also developing a workshop series around addressing educator burnout with school administrations towards her 500-hr. yoga teacher training.

Kristofer Thurston is the Chief Technology Nerd Technology Director. After 22 years in Education Technology, he's learned that CHANGE is the soul of the game. Starting with computer labs, moving through 1:1, into BYOD and beyond, change is the only thing that remains constant. he believes that change is now taking us back to the concept of 1:1, but this time, it means something completely different. Through the purposeful use of the right technologies, teachers can focus on building relationships, meeting each and every student where they’re at, driving engagement and empowering life-long learners, with a goal of every student feeling like they have a 1:1 student to teacher ratio in every class. He recently completed a 3-year term as the Technology Chair on the Prince of Peace Catholic School Advisory Committee. Currently serving as the Director of Technology at John Paul II High School.
