I am a Student Success Specialist, Teacher, ADHD & Executive Function Coach, and the Founder of Brightside Learning. Over the past 15+ years, I have put my heart and soul into helping students and families affected by ADHD, executive functioning difficulties, learning disabilities, and anxiety, build academic and executive function skills, develop self-confidence, manage anxiety, and become active and engaged in their own learning and lives through personalized coaching programs. There is absolutely nothing like the feeling of knowing you have helped impact and positively influence the life of a student, it's one of the most rewarding and heartfelt feelings ever -- your heart just feels like it wants to burst. The success I have personally witnessed has been life-changing, not just for the students but for me as well!I believe that supporting student development and success encompasses a family heartfelt approach. With foundations rooted in attachment theory, emotion coaching and executive skills coaching, it combines best practices for supporting students to achieve success through skill-building in executive function development, critical thinking and doing, emotional intelligence, academic strategy and becoming active and engaged participants in their own lives. It also focuses on equipping parents and teachers with the skills, strategies, structure and methods needed to support students as they flourish.
