Belouga – May 3, 2022
I feel blessed and look forward to going to work every day! Teaching children is my passion and our time together brings me so much joy. I had the privilege to share a part of my story. I truly believe we can cultivate our own love, gratitude & joy and this mindset & practice helps us with our overall well-being.

What a great honour and pleasure to speak with Laurie Guyon and Robert Dunlop in our session called Happiness Reflections. My heart was full of gratitude as we shared stories that warmed hearts and filled them with joy. Check it out here! This is one of many sessions hosted by Belouga‘s #SameHere Schools Month, a mental health awareness initiative to support educators around the world.

Teach Better Team – November 18, 2021
What a great pleasure it was to get to speak with Dave Schmittou about the course that Kari Pitstick and I co-created called Writing Strategies & Marketing Your Work. It is available in the Teach Better Academy. The course starts with helping you understand yourself better as a writer. Then we dive into tons of tips & strategies on things to consider BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER you write. These ideas are tried, tested, and true. I’ve used these ideas for years with my students to help them improve their writing & better understand the thinking process during writing. Tried, tested, and true!
