Leader | Mindfulness Teacher| Family Engagement Educator

International Mindfulness Teacher's Association Board President

I am a Certified Mindfulness Teacher (CMT-P) with over 25 years of experience in educational and nonprofit executive leadership. I've served as an Executive Director in Baltimore City, a K-8 NYC School Principal and a Dean of Students, and a Deputy Chief of Family & Community Programs in DC. These are some of the highest need areas in the country, so I know what it means to lead with courage. 

In addition, I earned a degree in Business Management from The University of the City of New York, a master’s degree in Educational Psychology from NYU, A Mindfulness Meditation Certification from The Greater Good Center at UCLA and I have advanced training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) from Brown University. 

Together, my training, personal practice and  professional experience have provided me with a unique and comprehensive understanding of the benefit of mindfulness and meditation in real life. l am a lived experience expert having survived proverty, teen parenthood and trauma. As such, I have cultivated the art of holding safe and judgement free space for all people because lifing is hard enough!

I bring these valuable skill sets together to design trauma-informed, mindfulness-based programs that center your wellbeing and growth as a catalyst for elevating both your individual impact and ultimately, your organization's impact. I do this because my decades of experience and training has made it profoundly clear that great missions are accomplished by healed, whole and empowered teams, and teams are very rarely empowered under poor leadership.
