I'm excited to combine two of my greatest passions, mindfulness and creative writing, to promote healthy, productive educational and work environments. I've practiced mindfulness for three decades and completed Mindful School’s Mindful Educator Year-long Program in 2018. A lifelong teacher, I have an English teaching credential with a Bilingual Authorization Certificate in Spanish and spent five years working in public schools in the SF Bay Area before launching Mindful Literacy.The Write to the Core curriculum combines the best of social-emotional learning, promoting self-reflection and a healthy classroom community, with reading and writing. My work has been featured at a mindful youth conference sponsored by the Center for Mindfulness at UC San Diego and in UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center Magazine.
