Hey there, I’m Kate!
Coffee, books, traveling, + new adventures are my passion
I’m a proud mother of two amazing sons living in California, and I’m married to my rockstar husband. After twenty-five years of dedicated service at Howell Public Schools, I retired to begin this new adventure.
It is my mission to help school districts bring JOY back into learning through professional development + training that gets teachers EXCITED about coming to work!!
Let’s Be Friends!
A few things about me…
I have my BS in Elementary Ed with minors in Early Childhood, Language Arts, + Mathematics and a Master’s in the Art of Teaching.
Certifications in Capturing Kids Hearts, Critical Friends Group, Cognitive Coaching, Coaching 101, Buck Institute for Education, and Trusted Messenger for “ Talking is Teaching.”
I love roller coasters, so working at Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio was one of my all-time favorite jobs.
I LOVE bright colors! My friends always say I am easy to spot because I will be wearing some sort of pink or yellow.
Born in Arizona, where saguaros stand tall like guardians of the desert, cacti became a love letter etched in my heart…that’s why you see cacti throughout my site.
My greatest joy is when I’m with my family and friends, sharing laughter and creating joyful memories.
