I have traveled to six continents and enjoy learning from others. I am a highly experienced teacher from Kindergarten to young adults. I have experience in running a nonprofit organization and fundraising. I am passionate about providing children with emotional regulation and the tools they need to succeed in the classroom and in life. I love to work and am self driven and reliable.
