Before stepping into education, I worked as a chef, crafting meals that brought people together. But my passion for learning—how we acquire knowledge, what ignites curiosity, and how small shifts in teaching can create life-changing moments—led me back to the classroom. That same love for creating experiences fuels my work today: whether I’m leading a packed conference session, collaborating with teachers in their classrooms, or designing strategies that help students connect with literacy in meaningful ways.

As a multilingual speaker (English, French, Spanish, and Italian, with a growing love for Japanese), I understand the power of language in shaping how we learn. And as a parent of a neurodivergent child, I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to design learning environments that support every student’s unique journey. These experiences guide my work—from my doctoral research on building inclusive school cultures to my hands-on work with educators who want practical, research-based strategies they can use right now.

I love working with teachers—through professional learning, one-on-one coaching, and in-classroom collaborations—to make literacy instruction more engaging and effective. My approach isn’t about adding more to teachers’ plates but about simplifying, refining, and designing instruction that works.

When I’m not talking about education, you’ll probably find me hiking with my family, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, playing board games, or getting lost in a good book.

Let’s connect and explore how we can reimagine learning together.
