I've been in the work of education and learning for over 20 years. Middle school has been my jam for a while so I've spent most of this time developing school-based mental health programs and services. Most recently I provided an alternative education program focused on personalized learning and inclusive practices, My varied experience in special education has given me opportunities to coach others in areas like disability awareness, universal design, tech integration, co-teaching, SEL, care teams, mindfulness, inclusion. I love to create and design instruction that peaks the brain's interest in being engaged in the moment. Meaningful Connections
Cringe alert! Relationships matter since the brain needs to feel safe and connected in order to access the areas needed for learning and retention.
