Summary

I aim to help transform the educational system into one that is well-equipped to manage all students' emotional and social needs. Schools should be academically and emotionally the best places to develop students' social and emotional capacities, as well as their intellect. It should be the safest place in one's community that facilitates education for all. I am on a mission to bring SEL into the schools by providing professional development to all adults, parents, and students. Social and Emotional Education will help transform society into a more cohesive and civil society.
