As a longtime educator in Pennsylvania for over 16 years I have been in dozens of educational atmospheres. I haven’t found one atmosphere where students are getting enough time to truly play and move, until recently. My son’s homeschool association has them outside two hours a day!  I want that kind of ritualistic play and physicality for all children!

At the age of 23 I started out as a York City library aide in all age ranges in the York City School District. It was there I fell in love with educating children of all ages. Eventually evolving from GED instruction in Harrisburg city, TSS, Nanny, and social skills facilitator to a M.Ed. And finally adding a special education certification. 

During my years in Harrisburg City I would become special education director and program director of an alternative/special education school. Over my years there we grew the program to become one of the most supportive special education schools of its kind in the area. 

Since 2020 I have raised and educated my son in the home school setting, written a children’s book and recently returned to special education case management part-time. My time is also invested in women’s health non-profits, focused on research and endometriosis advocacy. As a chronic illness sufferer myself I continue to strive to educate as many people on how to advocate for themselves in all facets of healthy living.
