I’m the founder of HEART in Mind, a company dedicated to helping schools and organizations integrate Social Emotional Learning in their practices, products, and learning communities. I’ve worked with schools, districts, and organizations to guide SEL implementation efforts, including training teachers and leadership teams, and provided guidance to educational technology and media companies to help them integrate SEL in their products.
I’m also an educator who has worked with children and adults internationally, and I’m a faculty member at Columbia University Teachers College, educating aspiring principals in Emotional Intelligence. I’ve conducted extensive research in the SEL field with a focus on SEL implementation, principals’ Emotional Intelligence, teacher preparation, and school climate.
