Meet Your Coach...

You got to read about some of my qualifications to be your coach on the homepage, but here's a little more about me:

• I'm a former band director and orchestra director who has also gotten to teacher theater and choir - so I am good at helping people in high-pressure performance situations
• I taught middle school for my whole career - so almost nothing surprises me
• I still play piano professionally and perform regularly - so you know that I like detailed work. 
• I have been married to my husband for over 27 years - through 20 years of military life, 2 grown children and all that comes with that - so you know that I don't quit when the going gets tough
•  I have three very large, goofy dogs which make me smile every day.  I've even gone interact with wolves as you can see in the photo - so you know I am used to communicating with more that just words

When you work with me you get someone who 

• has been in the trenches as a teacher just like you 
• has felt same frustrations and heartbreak as a teacher. 
• who successfully transitioned not just into a job with a Fortune 500 company, but a job that dealt with hiring people.  I KNOW what it's like on the hiring side of the table. 
• I am dedicated to helping you formulate a plan to leave teaching and to teaching you all the steps you need to make it happen.  
• When you work with me, you get more than just a DIY set of courses. You get personalized feedback and someone as interested in Your success as you are!
