Collaborative Creators

With over 15 years in education and youth development, I am dedicated to empowering students and fostering their growth. As a certified Texas educator with extensive experience in Science and STEM, I create engaging, hands-on learning environments that inspire curiosity and confidence. Alongside teaching, I have spent more than a decade counseling youth, helping them navigate challenges and build resilience. Holding a Bachelor of Science in Human Services from Springfield College, my approach is grounded in research and a deep understanding of human development. I am also a certified Trauma-Informed Care Trainer, supporting educators in creating safe and responsive spaces. Through involvement with the Mental Health America and Texas Education Agency Emotional Backpack Projects, I’ve advanced social-emotional learning and mental health awareness in schools. Now, I combine my expertise to lead a venture that integrates CASEL’s five SEL competencies into STEM education, helping students develop both academic skills and emotional intelligence. I believe that when students feel acknowledged and supported, they can overcome challenges and reach their highest potential. My work blends education, empathy, and empowerment to make a lasting impact on children, educators, and families.
