I’ve been lucky enough to share my passions at conferences, webinars, and professional learning events across the country. I talk a lot about trauma-responsive teaching, foster care, teacher advocacy, and multiage classrooms – basically, anything that helps schools become more human-centered and hopeful. Sometimes I present with amazing colleagues, and sometimes it’s just me and my slides, but either way, I love the chance to nerd out with other educators and keep learning right alongside them.
