Greetings, I'm Just a Girl from Hollywood—Mom, Mentor, and Your Biggest Child's Cheerleader

Born and raised in sunny Hollywood, Florida, I'm a proud mom of three incredible daughters—Skye, Emma, and Ava—who are my greatest blessings and daily inspiration. As a 30+ year teacher of English Language Arts, College of Education professor, lifelong yogi, and lover of Hollywood beach (skate, swim, SUP, kayak), I bring joy, movement, and mindfulness into everything I do.

Whether I’m teaching, parenting, or paddling, I build sacred spaces—classrooms and homes alike—around connection, care, and calm. I’m your child's safe space, your steady guide, and your child's number-one fan.

This summer, join me for Reader’s Theater—a fun, heart-centered K–12 program that helps kids grow in confidence, creativity, and reading fluency. Let’s make magic together—on the page and in life.
