My journey began as a foster parent raising neurodivergent kids almost 20 years ago. Through that experience I quickly discovered a major disconnect between social workers and foster parents. My passion for children and families led me back to school to become a social worker, where I was able to gain more understanding of the other side of the system. I realized that more training on neurodivergence was urgently required, and that collaboration between foster parents and social workers would make a huge difference in the child welfare system. These courses are my passion project and I hope they create a ripple in the system, creating better outcomes for children.

My passion for neurodivergence began as I parented my own children, navigating various diagnoses such as Autism, FASD, ADHD, Pathological Demand Avoidance, ODD, and Intellectual Disability. I have learned that each child must be met where they are at, and that stepping outside of traditional parenting techniques is required to find success.
In addition to my professional roles, I also enjoy writing, reading, and working on our hobby farm where we care for sheep, chickens, quail and our milk cow Cocoa!
