Professional Experience

I am a school psychologist who transitioned to a career of blogging and freelance writing. My topic of expertise is parenting -- especially practical break-downs on the social-emotional development of kids. I have a knack for translating heavy clinical language from research studies and making it accessible and applicable for parent readers. I also have a talent for drawing insights out of highly relatable parenting experiences (while adding a stamp of humor!)
