About Me

I am a certified teacher with more than fifteen years of experience in mainstream and non-mainstream education. I have done extensive work with a wide range of disabled and non-disabled children and young adults between pre-K and post high school. In addition, I have taught creative writing and provided many hours of English language arts, math, and science tutoring support to students of varied learning styles and abilities.

Like many of the students I have worked with over the span of my career, I have a sensory impairment. I was born premature and developed a vision impairment as a result. After spending many years of my life able to see extremely well through one eye, I experienced a very sudden and dramatic loss of vision before my teen years. This was an extraordinarily traumatic experience for me not only because of the vision loss but how it happened. I believe having a vision impairment has made me a vessel of empathy, compassion, patience, and love for all of the young people with whom I get to work. It has inspired me to learn how to live beyond the apparent limitations of my body, so that I may contribute something legitimately meaningful, positive, and long-lasting to the world.

I have found inner peace and confidence in fully learning how to authentically love, appreciate, and accept everything about myself. I perceive my visual limitations as an enhancement of my overall capacity to live the wholesome quality life I desire. I feel deeply compelled to share and inspire all who desire a more wholesome, quality life experience for themselves

In my personal life, I really enjoy meditating daily and incorporate somatic awareness and mindfulness to help guide me through each experience. I also really enjoy journaling, choral singing, playing my piano—although I play infrequently these days--, and participating in free-form dance. I am part of a community of people who deeply value creating and cultivating conscious connections where possible with friends, family, and the larger community as a whole.

When I created this company, my vision was to help young people learn how to fully find inner peace and confidence in their ability to learn. This includes helping them access internal knowledge about the magnificence, strength, and wonder they innately possess. I believe there is an inner wisdom each one of us has deep within our being. If we can bring this inner wisdom forward and begin to integrate it into our daily experiences (no matter how challenging), we can gain greater access to more positive potential showing up in our lives than we may have originally believed possible. This deep, inner wisdom may just be what compels us into being expressions of unconditional, universal love, so that our collective healing can truly commence.

One of my favorite quotes simply and eloquently illustrates this.

“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” – Jimi Hendrix
