Tears, frustration, elation, fear, wonder--and that was all ME within the last five minutes.  I'm kidding!  As The Gifted Girl Who Grew Up, I have learned a myriad of strategies to cope with complex emotions that accompany complex minds; however, as a kid, that wasn't quite the situation.  I didn't know why I found myself in a puddle of tears more often than not because there was something I didn't understand--but it wasn't my school work.  As I matriculated, those tears dried up and I found my favorite part of school to be class changes!  Well, let's say this social butterfly could have given Callaway Gardens a run for their money because I almost lost my place in the Honors Program.  It is the tapestry of these personal experiences along with 15+ years of K-12 and professional adult teaching and learning that have brought you and me together.

I am a firm believer in accountability without blame and the power of relationships to heal.  I also am of the mind that help is always available and necessary for everyone.  We're all teachers and students in this great, big, beautiful life--so no matter your current role, I am here to hold your hand with grace and ease as we use the beacon of clarity to walk the path to success.  It would be my pleasure to follow up with you to see how my tremendous trifecta of empathy, evolution, and engagement will impact your life, and I am excited about making collaborative magic with you!
