This page is very much a work in progress, but I figured I might as well make it public as I build it out...
I share this not to brag or show off, but because I work largely with kids. I believe it’s important for parents (and anyone else interested) to understand where I come from, what I’m capable of, and where I have experience. And hopefully it gives us something we can connect on 😄
