As an educator, understanding students better means getting through to them easier. But that understanding means meeting them where they are, not where you wish they would just hurry up and get to already. It means having the cultural knowledge, wherewithal and resilience to really get the job done.

Now, as a native of Upstate NY and Harrisburg, PA, you might imagine that I’m a little no-nonsense when it comes to leading the next generation to greatness, but our children deserve the best in their educators, so it just comes with the territory.

Working with educators to help identify their teaching superpowers and then using them to ignite their students unique gifts is what I was born to do. I help educators build confidence in their craft, and ultimately themselves, so that our beautiful black and brown youngins can be profoundly impacted in ways that no one would have ever imagined.
