Fresh Start Consulting works with all ages from early-childhood to high school; from teachers to administrators to district personnel – changing the landscape of education for a more positive and robust future.
It is my goal to make education more engaging and inviting while raising student achievement, increasing academic gains, and empowering change by helping to keep educators at the top of their game.
As a former teacher and administrator, I have always considered myself a teacher at heart. Creating a safe and healthy learning environment is first and foremost.
Having taught both regular and special education students, I believe in engaging a child’s interest to expand their knowledge, creating passion and curiosity. Sparking excitement, learning to take risks and inspiring playful minds is key for a child’s success.
