About

I’m grateful to live in the Cleveland area (where I was born and raised) with my husband, daughter, and pup (Diesel). I’ve combined my love of health and wellbeing, my passion for reimagining education, and my desire to share what I have learned on my journey to help others be better together.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts from Miami of Ohio and my teaching certificate from Notre Dame College.  For the last decade, I have been blessed to guide students from special education to regular education, from kindergarten to high school, in public schools and Montessori schools.  I am an IAWP certificated holistic wellness coach, and I also hold an Applied Positive Psychology certificate from the University of Pennsylvania.  I study Restorative Practices at the IIRP and Dynamic Governance/Sociocracy with Sociocracy for All, and NVC (Non-violent Communication/Compassionate Communication). I am passionate about bringing this work into schools as I see it as my way of contributing to the progression of education.
