She also serves on local boards promoting youth mental health and community service outreach.

I'm passionate about

Learning and teaching through experience, travel, the arts, and listening. I am passionate about teaching children through experiences.

An idea worth spreading

Do you want to raise a well-rounded child? Give them a well-rounded life. Many children today are over programmed and overwhelmed. Forcing children to specialize in one sport or activity limits their capacity to live a wholistic, healthy life. Instead, use an 'every good gift' approach to parenting, where parents and children focus together on finding and exploring the best of everything.

Areas of expertise

Community Organization, Editing, Leadership, Writing
