Hello, I’m Melissa! I am a certified School Counselor, and teacher with my license in special education. Getting to support students on their journey to become independent, resilient, and self-confident human beings is the greatest privilege. I am obsessed with children’s  books, yoga, and all things mindfulness. 

Not only do I love working with kiddos in the classroom, but I love talking about resiliency, grit and self-advocacy with my three kids. So, when two of my children were diagnosed with hearing loss, I was shocked by the limits placed on them before they could even walk.  We trudged through negative stigmas and learned all we could.  We needed tools – tools to help us push through a world of cants.   

I created this as a site as a place where I could put my ideas, experiences, and favorite resources all in one spot.  My hope is that it is a helpful tool that provides practical ways that can support you as you empower your students and children.
