Hello, Everyone! I teach Social Dynamics to ages 5-18. Social dynamics skills are like the rules of a playground game, teaching us how to listen, share, understand others' feelings, be respectful, work together, and solve problems with friends. I am a Professional School Counselor with 6 years of experience working in K-12 within public education as well as almost 20 years counseling youth in the community. I believe every child deserves a chance to learn something new and I am here to share my skills with them!!
