My Story

I have taught in collegiate classrooms for more than a decade teaching journalism, public relations, and digital media, all of which were my first career for 22 years.
But it was my very personal experiences as a mother to children with special needs and from trauma situations that led me to realize that supports and necessary training aren't available, let alone to create opportunities to allow parents and educators to work together in creating healing environments and lifestyles for children.
This has led to the creation of my hands-on education course Understanding Students of Trauma and Special Needs: What Parents Need You To Know as well as many education focused workshops, in-services, featured article publications, and soon-to-be-published book.
