After a 19-year career as a secondary educator teaching language arts, communication, and coaching forensics, I retired at the end of the 2020-21 school year. Since that time, I have endeavored to "re-fire!" Now I am living the life I dreamed for myself. This year I started, Focus For Leaders, a leadership coaching and training business with a mission to: "teach success-seekers how to live authentic lives of purpose." I have challenged myself to become the best version of myself and lead others to do the same. After running my first half-marathon last September, I can't wait for what comes next. In addition to launching my business,  my joy is playing with my grandchildren and teaching my wonderful teacher friends how to take back their lives and well-being. I can't wait to meet you all in my class.
