Hi there.
Genuine connection is the foundation of learning, growth, and innovation. Whether I’m developing a keynote, producing a video, or collaborating with district leaders, my goal is always the same: to connect with people in meaningful ways that drive results.
My path has taken me from the classroom to the stage, from television studios to school districts across the country. Before joining the education publishing world in 2004, I worked as a youth motivational speaker, on-air TV host, producer, and teacher. I even ran my own speaking business—juggling roles from program developer to graphic designer.
Across every role, the common thread has been using creativity, communication, and empathy to bridge gaps between people, ideas, and opportunities.
