After 37 years of experience as a Teacher, Administrator, and Exceptional Student Education (ESE) Facilitator working with students, families, and the community of Polk County has developed a passion in me to empower our children and those who have the greatest impact on their success. I’ve observed the public educational system decline in the ability to support all students. The direct services our students and families need are being compromised by the lack of communication, instructional materials, and support staff at the school level for our struggling students.

Due to legislation, organizational restructuring, distribution of funds, and lack of personnel training that directly influence the success of our students, our students are falling further behind without hope and direction for their future. The expectation for students and families to access information, education, and training in the virtual setting leaves behind a large portion of our children and families who struggle with these platforms. Even the most technically inclined will encounter the lack of these services due to poor systems or resources needed to thrive.

The last 17 years as the ESE Facilitator at George Jenkins High School has driven my passion to provide solutions for students’ educational needs and bring PEACE of mind to the families and community influencers wanting the greatest educational and career opportunities for our children. As I pursue my passion for empowering students and collaborating with stakeholders to pave the way for our youth to success, PEACE ensures peace of mind for parents and community leaders. Our commitment guarantees that every student is equipped with the skills and support needed to thrive academically and vocationally.
