I am a holistic educator who believes in individualized education that addresses not only academic needs but also physical, mental, emotional, and social needs. I've spent much of my career specializing in supporting high-needs academic and behavioral students, providing unconditional positive regard, rapport-building based on student interests, warmth, compassion, humor, student-directed low-floor/high-ceiling projects, self-regulation opportunities, boundaries, and natural consequences.
I focus on nurturing a safe and inclusive environment that promotes growth and allows students to explore their full potential.
