As someone who has overcome 7 of the ACE questions, I am confident that my ability to help change the lives of children in our community will be useful. I hope to present mindfulness practices to teachers and children in our schools to help build their resilience. I have studied Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction at the Shambhala Mountain Center under Jon Kabat Zinn's certified instructor and I am Certified from the Mind and Body Awareness Project based out of California to teach at risk youth mindfulness. I aspire to utilize these tools to help the ACE movement specifically in Oklahoma. As a mother to a three year old little girl, an aunt to a 5 year old autistic boy and a passionate nanny of 13 years, I want to help make our state better for the future of all the children. We are all in this together and together we can make a change.
