Brief Biography
With over twenty-five years in education, I have worked with students from preschool through the high school in many different regions and cultures. My experiences include teaching in the inner city, suburbs, and rural communities. I have also taught internationally in Guam, South Korea, and Lima, Peru. I have done extensive staff training throughout the world. Working with teachers and schools is a passion of mine, leading to the completion of my doctoral degree in School Improvement. I know the importance of working with difficult kids, and I want to help others gain insight on what can work to help these students succeed.
