“After two decades in education, I’ve seen what happens when teachers burn out, students shut down, and systems fail to support the whole child.

I created Chalkboard Coaching to be part of the solution. My mission is to make learning environments more healing, more human, and more effective—especially for students who’ve been overlooked or underestimated.

When we teach with empathy and lead with strategy, every classroom can be a place of transformation.”
