About Me

I am a teacher educator and consultant working to empower teachers as professionals and to support school leaders by increasing their capacity to lead engaging, transformative schools.

Education

Ph.D. in Social Studies Education, University of Georgia
M.Ed., Peabody College, Vanderbilt University
B.A. in History, University of Georgia

Experience

I taught high school social studies in Georgia for seven years at North Atlanta High School and Oglethorpe County High School

Now, in my 18th year as a teacher educator, I collaborate closely with Charter and Public Schools to elevate purposeful teaching practices, to increase student engagement, to provide mentoring to new teachers and to enable school leaders to increase their capacity through specialized mentoring designed to meet state requirements while engaging teachers in meaningful coaching and mentorship.

Engagement

From working with individual teachers and local school districts to presenting at national and international conferences, I've focused my efforts on fostering meaningful professional learning. I love engaging with teachers, school leaders, and communities to inspire brave, innovative, and rebellious teaching that truly makes a difference in the lives of students and communities.

Let's Collaborate!

Are you a classroom teacher looking to overcome individual challenges you are facing today in your classroom? I’d love to talk and explore how we can work together to reconnect and deepen your individual purpose for teaching and enable you to grow as a professional. Are you a school or district-level administrator? I'd love to discuss ways to support your teachers and transform classrooms in your school of district.
