About me
I am a former lawyer turned educator, passionate in my pursuit of ensuring that no child gets left behind. I have spent two decades caring for and educating vulnerable children, including foster children and kids with special needs. I focus on connection first, while affirming each child's unique personality and abilities. I have supported my extensive teaching experience with numerous courses from the leading experts in these subjects.
