What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I worked as a special education teacher for 9 years; early in my career I had the opportunity to work with visionary principals in Chicago, IL who lead with a trauma-informed-lens. I moved to San Diego, CA in 2016 and found myself in a school district struggling to implement restorative practices. Here, I witnessed student suffering caused by punitive discipline, and became motivated to advocate for restorative practices. I recently left the teaching field to further my education in Restorative Justice, Yoga, and Mindfulness; I hope to share those resilience building practices with people affected by ACEs.
