Author’s Visit (1)_edited.jpg

Experience: With a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Psychology, I bring a strong educational foundation to my work in promoting inclusivity and empathy among children. My 13years of classroom teaching experience in early childhood education have equipped me with valuable skills in engaging young learners and fostering a supportive environment. Additionally,

my background in communication and my role in project management for a large firm have honed my presentation skills and ability to connect with diverse audiences. As a dedicated parent advocate for my daughter, I have built numerous community relationships, which have further deepened my commitment to fostering inclusivity. All of these experiences culminated in my journey as a children's book author, leading to the creation of my book, I’M Not Invisible: Franny’s Neighborhood Mission, where I aim to inspire young readers to embrace kindness and understanding through actions!
