In these roles, she has not only taught teachers, parents, and students how to use various digital tools and platforms effectively but also contributed to curriculum creation and instructional coaching. This diverse experience further enhances her ability to develop comprehensive educational resources. A lifelong learner, Gay loves to explore new topics and share her knowledge with others.
