Experience

I’m a certified school counselor with 7 years of experience supporting K–12 students. I’ve worked at both the elementary and high school levels, led RTI and PBIS initiatives, and developed SEL-aligned, trauma-informed systems that support the whole child. I use that experience to create practical, classroom-ready resources grounded in real school needs.

Teaching style

My teaching style is structured, relationship-driven, and rooted in real-life relevance. I believe students thrive when expectations are clear, lessons are engaging, and social-emotional skills are woven into everything we do.
