With nearly two decades dedicated to public education, the majority as an elementary principal, I've amassed a wealth of expertise in optimizing school systems and fostering student success. While systems and structures are essential, many schools and districts are missing the complete picture (I know I was). They focus too much on initiatives and neglect the real needs of their people. 

​

My most valuable insights in education didn't stem from traditional or even the latest professional development trends. Instead, they came from delving into personal growth when the job seemed more difficult than I could bear. Amidst the highs and lows of education, I've learned that true peace and happiness come from managing internal stressors rather than solely addressing external challenges. Educators are individuals first and foremost. By prioritizing their well-being, we can cultivate a school environment that is not only functional but also joyful.

​

Beyond my educational endeavors, I am a certified Change Coach, specializing in helping individuals overcome unwanted habits and thought patterns to achieve peace of mind. My approach revolves around gaining deep insights into human experiences to facilitate natural and sustainable change.

​

In essence, my professional journey embodies a holistic approach that places equal emphasis on personal growth, systemic change, and the profound interconnectedness between individual well-being and collective success in education and beyond.
