What is it you do for a living? (Parenting, volunteering, CEO of social service organization, etc.)
In addition to teaching 8th grade English Language Arts, I am the founder of: (1) Authentic Best Life for Teens and Young Adults, (2) Authentic ME Workshop and Community supporting the personal growth of women.
What organization(s) do you volunteer or work for?
I teach in the Mesa Public School District in Mesa, AZ.
What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I am personally no stranger to childhood trauma with an ACEs score of 8. When I became a teacher 7 years ago after a lengthy career in corporate America, I was introduced to ACEs at a teacher training for teachers of Native American students.
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
I am only aware through teacher trainings and research I have done on my own.
