Biographie:
Rebecca Frost Cuevas, founder and CEO of Learn and Get Smarter, Inc., is a leading online learning education consultant and trainer for experts and entrepreneurs. She holds a bachelor's degree in English from Harvard University, as well as two master's degrees in education. Her first master's, from Wheelock College Graduate School, is in curriculum design and development. Her second, from California State University, San Bernardino, is in instructional technology. For fifteen years, Rebecca designed and delivered award-winning education programs for public utilities in Southern California, impacting over 150,000 students with hands-on learning experiences relating to water and energy conservation. The education programs she created won national and regional awards, including the prestigious Community Service Award from the American Public Power Association and the prominent Clair A. Hill Award from the Association of California Water Agencies. Rebecca also received multiple federal scholarships for international study, and (fun fact!) learned Photoshop and Illustrator at a technical school in a foreign language, where she was the only nonnative speaker in the class. She brings a creative, multicultural perspective to her work in educational consulting, instructional design, and curriculum development. When not designing online courses, Rebecca enjoys making up stories about Mother Rebecca, a 200-year-old fictional Victorian know-it-all, who provides gracious solutions to life's perplexing problems. Back in the twenty-first century, Rebecca is the proud mother of an internationally known fiber artist who is famous for having knitted a life-sized human skeleton. She enjoys living in sunny southern California while staying in touch with friends from all over the world-and is proud to say that her sticky date pudding once took third prize at the National Date Festival.
