Personal Details

Bio

As a mom, teacher and now administrator, I have brought many creative experiences to children and school districts for over 20 years. Whether it was teaching lessons infused with art and innovation or writing grants, all of these experiences gave me the ability to connect creativity to curriculum and numerous content areas.

Today, children live with boundaries that prohibit them from finding the talents and skills that lie within. By putting creativity into their daily lives, they will see that they don't need to worry about being judged or afraid of being imperfect. The journey will result in lighting the path that will them to a joyful and self-fulfilling life. The life they were meant to have.

Author of Give Me Back My Crayons - Through decades of experience, extensive research and my personal story, Give Me Back My Crayons illustrates the value of trusting ourselves and reaching deep to find that creative genius living inside, while modeling for our children how to do the same.
