Speaker, Leader, Co-Conspirator
Welcome to my weird, wackey world—where radical community care and rebellious creativity come together to shake up the status quo!
I’m a recovering stressed-out teacher who spent a decade wrangling wisdom, energy, and the occasional existential crisis from public education in Washington, DC. After spotting a glaring need for teacher voice and long-term sustainability (spoiler: we’re not robots!), I created a pilot program that eventually evolved into my first business, 11:11 Wellness. Since then, I’ve been on a mission for the past 5 years to reshape the culture of support within schools.
Since one wasn’t enough (and I missed directly working with the kids), I am ALSO the proud founder of Left of Center Coaching, a virtual hub for supporting neurodivergent teens and their families in navigating the wild world of education and life, all with a healthy dose of empathy, humor, and real talk.
