About me

Location Vashon, Washington
Introduction Welcome to my blog, but bear with me, I'm new to this. To giving advice to parents? No. To writing, definitely no. But to using a blog? Yes; but I will learn. I am grateful to have a place to talk with parents, beyond what I do in my own work. I have worked with middle school, high school, and college students for the past fifteen years. After a decade of tutoring, I created my Strategies for Success Workshops to teach kids how to manage school and learning more effectively, and to teach their parents how to support those efforts. I am a parent, too; but my two children, who I raised on my own, are adults now, and living on their own. BUT, if I could go back and do it over....?! Oh, baby. I can't tell you how differently I'd support them now. I invite you to become part of the conversation!
