Helping children discover their strengths, overcome challenges, and build confidence has always been at the heart of everything I do. As the founder of this educational consulting practice, my passion is partnering with children of all ages, their families, and schools to create supportive environments where every student has the opportunity to thrive.

​

I specialize in behavior support, social-emotional learning, self-regulation, and academic success. I understand that every child is unique, and there is never a one-size-fits-all solution. Whether a student is struggling with challenging behaviors, anxiety, emotional regulation, executive functioning, or academics, I work closely with families and educators to develop individualized strategies that build confidence, strengthen relationships, and create lasting success. My goal is not only to support students but also to equip parents and educators with practical tools they can use every day to help children grow both academically and emotionally.

​

For more than 20 years, I have dedicated my career to helping students succeed. I have had the privilege of working with children from a wide range of backgrounds and abilities, and some of the most rewarding moments in my career have come from watching students who once struggled begin to believe in themselves, develop resilience, and achieve goals they never thought possible.

​

I hold a Master's degree in Educational Leadership from Montana State University and Bachelor's degrees in Elementary Education and Marine Biology, graduating with honors from both Montana State University and the University of South Florida. Throughout my career, I have served as a Lead Teacher, Department Head, Behavior Team Lead, and Curriculum Team Member, where I have combined my passion for student success with leadership and innovation in education.

​

In addition to working directly with students and families, I have led the development of middle school science and mathematics curriculum, assessments, and project-based learning aligned with North Dakota State Standards. Since 2014, I have collaborated with the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction to develop and refine statewide science assessments, helping ensure high-quality educational opportunities for students across the state.

​

Supporting educators has also been a meaningful part of my journey. As a state mentor teacher for more than 15 years, I have coached new teachers and helped them develop effective instructional practices, behavior supports, and classroom management strategies. I am also a certified trainer in platforms including NoRedInk, i-Ready, Edgenuity, Panorama, IXL, and ClassDojo, helping schools use technology to improve instruction, communication, and student outcomes.

Above all, I believe that every child deserves someone who sees their potential, understands their challenges, and is committed to helping them succeed. I know how overwhelming it can feel when a child is struggling, and I believe families shouldn't have to navigate those challenges alone. My mission is to provide compassionate guidance, practical solutions, and collaborative support that empowers children, strengthens families, and helps schools create environments where every student can flourish.

When children feel understood, supported, and empowered, incredible things happen—and I am honored to be part of that journey.
