I’m an Educational Coach for Out of the Box Learners. As an award winning retired classroom educator turned educator for the world, I am both your child’s advocate and your ally! Through coaching, teaching, and mentoring, kids, teens, and young adults, each curiously discovers their inner superpowers and embodies their unique magic. When partnering with schools and organizations, I empower their community, creating infinite space for all to confidently and courageously step into their leadership as a voice for today's youth and families. Most importantly, I unwaveringly believe accessibility and inclusivity for all to feel rich belonging is everyone’s birthright. Today’s AND tomorrow’s youth deserve to be heard, seen, valued, and loved without pressure or conditions.
