There’s nothing worse than boring professional development. I ENGAGE educators, administrators, caregivers, and social workers and teach skills that you can USE immediately. I facilitate webinars, interactive workshops, virtual support groups, training sessions, and conversations so every kid gets what they need.
Practical support for schools and organizations
If we want kids to be successful, we have to create the right conditions for them to learn and grow. The same is true when it comes to teaching the adults who serve them. I share information and model strategies that educators, agencies, and organizations can leverage in their own work.
