✨ Reflecting on Year 1 and stepping into Year 2 as an Adobe ACE Innovator! ✨
When I became an Adobe ACE Innovator, I honestly didn’t know how much this opportunity would push me to grow—not only with creativity and technology, but as a leader.
During my first year, I stepped outside of my comfort zone in ways I never expected. I presented on a global platform, shared and learned alongside some incredible educators, brought new ideas back to my campus and district, and most importantly, found new ways to create opportunities for my students.
Attending the ACE Innovator Summit was truly a life-changing experience for me. Being surrounded by so many creative and inspiring educators, learning from one another, and making connections that continued long after the Summit was something I’ll always be grateful for. I really wish I could have attended the Summit again this past summer, but I’m hopeful I’ll have the opportunity to attend the next one. 💙
One of my proudest moments was launching our first Adobe Student Ambassador cohort in January 2026. Watching my students grow in their creativity, confidence, character, and leadership reminded me exactly why I wanted to be part of this community in the first place.
Now, going into Year 2, I’m excited to continue growing and challenging myself. I’m officially an Adobe Student Ambassador Site Lead, we’re preparing to welcome our second Student Ambassador cohort, and we’re getting ready to launch the first Aqua Jr. Ambassador Program in the nation! ✨
Year 1 was about finding the courage to step outside of my comfort zone. Year 2 is about building on that growth, creating even more opportunities for my students, and continuing to discover where creativity can take us.
I’m so thankful for this community, the friendships and connections I’ve made, and everything I’ve learned along the way. I can’t wait to see what Year 2 as an Adobe ACE Innovator brings!
