My mission is to improve the health and well-being of children through educating and inspiring adults to strengthen their communities,

create environments that encourage play and to communicate effectively and peacefully. To enliven this mission, I became certified as a coach and started a podcast.

I have worked with children and families for over a decade, in elementary and middle schools, churches, and hospitals. I worked with the Children’s Defense Fund, with WINGS for kids in Charleston, and was a Certified Child Life Specialist for 5 years.

Aside from connecting with children, I am also into Frisbees, beekeeping, playing piano and singing, board games, dogs and cooking.
