My life is rooted in learning, engaging and being. I am an innovative leader and children’s social and emotional well-being program, policy and systems building strategist. I’ve been honored to build expertise in child development, infant and early childhood mental health, trauma-informed care and mindfulness.

I am a native New Yorker who branched out years ago and have lived in the beautiful New England, a quick stint in Washington DC and in many ways grew up professionally in Chicago. Memphis is home now and I’m enjoying so many new adventures in the South.
