I’m a Human Sustainability Consultant with a deep background in education, emotional engagement, and systems transformation. My work centers on helping schools, districts, and organizations create emotionally sustainable environments where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to lead.My professional path began as an elementary teacher with a passion for technology. Over time, I served as a Technology Integrator, Director of Innovation and Technology, and later as a consultant focused on instructional strategy and educator support. While my roles evolved, one thing remained constant: a commitment to understanding how systems affect the people inside them.​After facing burnout myself at a time when there were no pathways for healing or even permission to talk about it, I shifted my focus toward mental health advocacy and policy change. For many years, I’ve worked at the intersection of instructional innovation and emotional well-being. Though I’m not a therapist or counselor, I’ve always been clear about my role: I am an advocate, strategist, and systems thinker, committed to improving the human experience of those working in schools and educational organizations.​As a consultant, I provide strategic guidance and professional learning for both private sector organizations and educational institutions. My focus is on building emotionally sustainable systems that reduce burnout, restore engagement, and improve long-term performance across teams. I specialize in areas such as employee well-being, emotionally intelligent leadership, systems-level change, and culture transformation. I also support organizations in aligning their internal practices with people-first values, ensuring that policy, communication, and culture all contribute to a healthier and more effective workplace.​In addition to consulting, I am a speaker, facilitator, and author whose work has centered on workplace mental health, employee engagement, and the conditions needed to support innovative thinking. I design and deliver high-impact learning experiences that are practical, reflective, and transformative whether for business leaders, education professionals, or hybrid teams. I believe that when organizations truly invest in their people, they don’t just improve retention and performance—they build cultures where people can grow and stay.​At home, you’ll usually find me with my family, out with my horses, or having in-depth conversations with my dogs over coffee. I’ve devoted my life to creating spaces where people can reconnect to their sense of purpose. Seeing others find clarity, fulfillment, and renewed energy in their work is what keeps me doing this work every day.Education BackgroundBachelor’s Degree: Elementary EducationMaster’s Degree: Information and Communication TechnologiesMaster’s Degree: Educational Leadership (Principal and Director of Instruction Certifications)Doctorate: Educational Sustainability (in progress)Certification: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (in progress)Certification: Alternative Education ______________________________________________________________________ The Edupreneur: Your Blueprint To Jumpstart And Scale Your Education BusinessYou’ve spent years in the classroom, leading PD, designing curriculum, and transforming how students learn.
