👋 Hello!

A Little About Me

I'm thrilled to introduce this space dedicated to student athletes. With over 23 years of experience as an elementary school teacher, I've created Mindful Learner to empower student-athletes in mastering organization, time management, and effective study habits through mindfulness practices. My goal is to reignite students' passion for learning, encourage them to take ownership of their education, and foster a lifelong love for learning. 

While my primary experience lies in middle school education, I am passionate about supporting students of all ages in achieving their fullest potential. I find immense joy in those 'aha' moments when students realize their success stems from their dedication and effort. Success, to me, isn't just about grades; it's about cultivating consistent work habits that lead to positive outcomes. It involves setting goals, creating plans, and taking steps toward achieving those goals. I firmly believe that developing strong learning skills early on is crucial for a fulfilling educational journey through secondary and post-secondary years. 

One of my greatest passions is helping student-athletes navigate the demanding schedules of school and training. I admire their drive, enthusiasm, and commitment to their sport and training, and I'm dedicated to helping them channel that same energy into their academic pursuits.

Through my journey, I've developed a deep passion for mindfulness and have seen firsthand its benefits in the classroom. In my new role as a Learning Skills & Mindfulness Educator and EFT & Hypnosis Practitioner, I eagerly anticipate working with youth in both one-on-one and small group settings in my company, Mindful Learner.
