Biography

As a parent, you want learning experiences that truly support your child’s growth—not just academically, but socially, emotionally, and developmentally. As a mother of six, I get that! As the Regional Liaison for Pennsylvania with the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD), I am committed to supporting children in developing the skills necessary for academic success and lifelong achievement.

My executive function courses focus on strengthening skills such as attention, organization, regulation of emotions, flexible thinking, and problem-solving. I use play-based and brain-informed strategies that are both engaging and highly effective. Activities are intentionally designed to meet children where they are developmentally, while gently challenging them to grow confidence, independence, and self-awareness.

I bring extensive experience to my teaching, holding advanced degrees in Education, Childhood Studies, and Psychology. I have held professional roles as a Pediatric Developmental Therapist, Special Instructor, Behavior Specialist Consultant, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, with a specialization in neuroplasticity—how the brain learns, adapts, and grows.

My approach is strengths-based and child-centered. I am passionate about creating supportive learning environments where children feel safe to try, make mistakes, and succeed. Through targeted executive function instruction, I help children develop practical skills that they can apply in the classroom, at home, and throughout their lives.
