About Heather – Founder of Tech Healthy Families

For over 20 years, I worked as an elementary school educator and now as a digital wellness and media literacy specialist. In classrooms and in living rooms, I’ve seen firsthand how technology can both empower and overwhelm families.

I started Tech Healthy Families because I wanted to take what I’d learned, both as a teacher and as a parent, and share it with families everywhere. Not in a preachy, “do this, don’t do that” way, but in a supportive, relatable way that actually works for real life.

Over time inside and outside of the classroom, I’ve created resources for parents, tweens, teens and schools that are practical, conversation-driven, and designed to build resilience. My work has expanded from supporting families at home to partnering with and supporting schools and companies to help communities rethink how technology is shaping learning, relationships, and well-being.
