I have been a teacher for 21 years and have taught in Indiana and Tennessee.  Many of the students I work with have ADHD or other executive function challenges. Personally, I have been on a journey of helping my own teenage son overcome his own challenges with ADHD since he was in Kindergarten.

I love learning about what my students are interested in and helping them discover their strengths.  Building on these interests and strengths, I provide them with tools and strategies to overcome their challenges.  And, since no two students are the same, each student’s toolbox is filled with individualized tools!

In my free time, I love running and training for marathons.  I also spend a lot of time serving as “Mom Taxi” for my two children.  Watching them do what they love on the soccer field, volleyball court, and dance floor brings me so much joy!   When I am at home, I enjoy cooking and baking for my family.  Family time is important to me.  So, in the summertime we try to get outside together as much as we can. (And sometimes that means driving my son to his favorite mountain bike trail and trying to stay alive while he leads me along!)  During the frigid Indiana winters, we spend a lot of time playing board games.  

I am compassionate, hard-working, and dedicated.  As an Academic Coach, I want to help my students get “unstuck” from their academic struggles so they can feel confident and empowered to reach their goals.
