Executive Function Coaches
Attending UCSD for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees helped me formulate strategies to be a well-rounded individual. As a college swimmer and student I had many demands I was expected to meet. This process required good organization, time management and prioritization. Life skills like these are so important and are a huge advantage for students to learn young.
I am a teacher with a passion for people of all ages! I love getting to know students and learning about what motivates and excites them. Being a teacher, I also understand the challenges that students often face in an educational setting. I am excited to encourage and uplift students by helping them develop Executive Function skills. My goal is that students learn these skills so they can have more success in all areas of life and feel confident that they can be their best.
In my free time you will find me at the beach, on a trail, or cooking in my kitchen. I also love DIY and home improvement projects. I am so excited to connect with you!
I am a lifelong educator and coach with over 20 years experience working with kids. I have been blessed to teach elementary children of all ages both in the US and internationally. I have also coached both volleyball and basketball at the high school level. I have an undergraduate degree from Emory University and a Masters in Education from the University of Michigan. In my free time I love to play with my kids, hike, swim, read and eat really good food!

I have the opportunity to work with Students Pre School-12th grade since 2004. My training as and Art teacher has allowed me to connect with students in unique ways over the years. The Art room is not just a place for creating but also a very social place where students and teachers can discuss and develop relationships while creating and learning about the Visual Arts. My most favorite part about being a teacher is developing relationships with students and creating a safe place where they can share what’s on going on in life and school. Reflecting on ones experiences is a great way to influence ones artwork. Excited to connect with more students and help develop a path to success!
