About Me
​I believe that in order to train people you need to have a perspective on what they do. I have spent over twenty years in the education/mental health field. I have dedicated my time to working with the youth that others turn away and send away.
​
I was a kid who can relate to the kids I work with every day.
I continue to work directly with youth on a daily basis. I not only train people how to work with students I submerge myself in the trenches daily. What I share with clients is real life experience coupled with education and research. I know our kids; I know what you deal with every day. This isn’t theory and ideas developed by people doing research and analyzing data this is real life experience.
