Specializing in Promoting Equitable, Trauma-Informed Restorative Educational Practices
“Education is still the great equalizer. Educators and systems of public education play a critical role in creating and maintaining multiple pathways for students to graduate on a road that reflects their aspirations, skills, and vision for themselves. Within communities of practice, we can work together to create safe teaching and learning environments for ALL students.”

My Purpose
I strive to provide educators and students a look at many factors that interrupt academic achievement. My discussions tackle the experiences and challenges that students face in communities and educational environments.
By focusing on real-life topics such as, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Trauma, Life Skills, Classroom Management, School Environment and Culture and more, it gives teachers a positive outlook on how childhood adversities affect students' persistence and resilience levels and how to empower them to succeed at higher levels.
