Presentations
I present nationally and regionally on the intersection of social-emotional learning, curriculum design, and equitable instructional practices. My sessions translate research into practical strategies for educators, drawing on collaboration with university professors, psychologists, and SEL organizations to ensure both rigor and relevance. Across conferences, webinars, and workshops, I design learning experiences that support meaningful implementation and impact.
