I am a native Chicagoan born and raised on the Southside of Chicago. I have been in education for 22 years focusing on Social Emotional Learning, Counseling Services, Behavior Management, MTSS, Restorative Practices, Dean Services, School Culture, and Community Partnerships. I have received training in SEL from the Institute of SEL and Yale University Emotional Intelligence Lab. I love supporting educators and creating innovative experiences for school communities through the lens of SEL. My favorite quote that I live by is..... “Be the Change You Wish To See In The World"
