Educational expertise:

I worked for 20+ years in Alternative Programs within Public Schools and Private Schools with a focus on empowering students to take charge of their academic pathways into their future.

Working in multi-aged classroom settings with hands on, experiential activities, to engage student’s ownership of their academic path has supported their growth and mastery of the themes of our studies with English, History, Science and Math.

Currently, I conference, individually and collaboratively, with students and their parents on a regular basis as we explore each student’s academic needs and aspirations. The students I work with seek autonomy, mastery and purpose on their academic journey towards creating a future that supports their individual quests on multiple fronts.
