- I am a bestselling author of multiple books created for children of all abilities that teach safety skills. My books have been endorsed by Safe and Sound Schools and Safe Havens International, the largest school safety organization in the world. My books are carried in school curriculums across the globe, and several have been recognized as one of the top 50 all-time best school safety books of all time. As an educator, my most amazing moment has been working with my three neurodiverse young children as a homeschool educator and learning what adaptions work best for each of them, how they each learn, and what they need to be successful as they grow.
