A pioneer & entrepreneur at heart, my diverse world and work experience keeps the innovative spirit and advocacy endeavors alive. This combined with my hard work ethic and efficiency gets the job done. I advocate for diversity, promote equity and celebrate autonomy in the workplace and for the betterment of society. Seeing the big picture comes naturally to me. This along with my eye for detail has been key at developing and implementing strategic plans while building camaraderie with a streamlined focus on the mission and vision. Whether it’s starting a new school from scratch, motivating others in a work project, or supporting a fellow adventurer through a challenging situation, we’re better together! Positivity and perspective go along way!My personable clear and concise communication skills along with superb organizational skills aid my talent at Public Relations, Event Planning, and Fundraising. The heart of my practice as an educator has been refining educational standards to implement in sensory-friendly, child-centered ways. This has proven to be key to ignite the innate love of learning to create inspired life-long learners, and to reawaken the natural curiosity to support individual happiness and success. Life is learning, learning is life. Mindfulness in business and education, and integrity in all interactions is my priority. Valuing individual differences and empowering authenticity is my practice. My professional background spans more than two decades with ten years of international experience living and working abroad, and nearly thirty countries visited. My Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) is in Education from Monmouth College. Education was my ticket to freedom, and is for the rest of the world too. The world is our oyster come what may. Seize the day with compassion and joy. Each day is an opportunity to heal and inspire. Make it so.
