About Me

At 34, I made a life-changing decision: I left a job that no longer served me and journeyed across the country to become a teacher.

But those early years were harder than I imagined. I'd lie awake at night wondering how to reach my students—especially those carrying behavioral and academic challenges from personal trauma. I suffered from severe panic attacks and felt desperate for change.

​

Then came the breakthrough: I realized the only way to build strong, caring relationships with my students was to first build that relationship with myself.

​

I spent nearly a decade doing deep inner work—studying healing modalities, working with spiritual mentors, meditating, and discovering what it truly meant to care for myself. I earned my life coaching certification and learned to integrate tools that transformed not just my teaching, but my entire life.

​

The change was profound. When I became whole, my students felt it. When I taught from presence instead of panic, everything shifted.

That's when I knew: If a teacher is happy, the children are happy—and the whole world benefits.

Today, with nearly 20 years of teaching experience worldwide, National Board Certification, and a passion for supporting educators, I know my purpose: to help other teachers make the same transformation I did.

Because you deserve to wake up energized. You deserve to teach from joy. You deserve to feel whole.

​

And your students deserve a teacher who's thriving—not just surviving.
