Educator. Consultant. Artist

She holds a Master's in Educational Studies from the University of Michigan, has written curriculum used by students and teachers in Washington state and across the country. She has published lessons on TED-Ed reaching millions of learners worldwide.
Currently, she works with schools, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations on the hard, meaningful work of curriculum design, grant writing, and professional development

Consulting Services
-
From early readers to college bound seniors, I offer personalized 50 or 90 minutes sessions that meet students where they are. Whether the goal is stronger writing, AP Prep or figuring out what comes after high-school, we build a plan that actually fits.
-
Professional development that respects educators as professionals. Inquiry-based, practical, and built to change practice — not just fill a day.
-
Curriculum and instructional design grounded in inquiry, equity, and how people actually learn — from scope and sequence to student-facing materials.
-
Grant writing and fundraising strategy for nonprofits and education organizations — from individual proposals to full funding system development. Deep expertise in Washington State DCYF and federal education funding.
-
Coaching and curriculum support to embed disciplinary literacy — reading, writing, and thinking in the content areas — into K–12 classrooms. Grounded in research. Built for real teachers.
-
Structured curriculum review assessing standards alignment, coherence, equity, and instructional quality — with a concrete set of findings and next steps.
-
Onboarding design and facilitation that gives new teachers practical tools and a real support structure — not a binder of policies and a handshake.
-
Strategic planning facilitation that's participatory, realistic, and built to produce plans teams actually use — not documents that live in a drawer.
-
Digital course and learning experience design that's pedagogically grounded, engaging, and built around how people actually learn — not just content to scroll through.
-
The path after high school looks different for every student — not everyone is headed to the same place. I help students in grades 9-12 map out what comes next with intention, applications, essays, gap year planning, career exploration and everything in between.
