Cate Tolnai is a learning enthusiast, idea alchemist, and professional dot-connector. Whether she’s designing digital badges at the University of Phoenix, cheering on future teachers at Notre Dame de Namur, or swapping stories onThe Bridge podcast, she’s all about turning big ideas into meaningful learning.

With 20+ years in education—from classroom teacher to edtech strategist—Cate mixes strategy with soul. She runs Tolnai Learning LLC, helping schools and orgs level up their learning, marketing, and storytelling. Her favorite things? Empowering educators, geeking out on AI and digital tools, and finding creative ways to make learning stick (and sparkle).

Basically, if it involves innovation, equity, or a really good Google Doc—you’ll find Cate in the middle of it, probably with a playlist going and coffee in hand.
