I’m a professional learning facilitator, former classroom teacher, and instructional coach. My work draws on experience teaching and supporting educators in urban public schools. I help groups practice what regulation and co-regulation can look like in a real interaction and examine the conditions that make those choices possible.
I bring this work to professional learning, leadership development, and parent education.
