Home + School Educator Training

Empowering Libraries. Elevating Communities. Transforming Lives.

For eight incredible years, I had the privilege of leading a highly successful academic program that served over 100 students daily. During that time, I noticed two profound truths. First, many students showed up not just once or twice a week but nearly every day—four or even five days a week. Their commitment to learning was inspiring, and I quickly realized that, for nearly 20 hours a week, I wasn’t just an educator—I was a steady presence in their lives.

Second, beyond academics, what truly resonated with these students was something deeper: a sense of home. When I asked why they kept coming back, their response was simple:

"It feels like home."

Yes, they valued the academic support and maybe even the homemade chocolate chip cookies I baked weekly. But what mattered most was the warmth, stability, and belonging they found in that space. It became more than just a place to study—it was where they gathered, laughed, connected, learned, led, taught, and grew. It was a space where they felt safe to cry, smile, and create.

Home is where the heart is, and classrooms can be more than just learning spaces—they can be homes.
​

My mission is to help educators find purpose in their profession and transform their classrooms into spaces where students don’t just learn but truly thrive. Through my professional development training, I’ve had the honor of equipping educators across the country with encouragement, practical strategies, and a renewed sense of hope.
Because being a teacher isn’t just what you do—it’s who you are.
