Hey there!

I could tell you that I’m a Character Education Specialist or a Leadership and Lifestyle Mentor. But, does it matter? Probably not, and that is so okay. So, instead I’m going to tell you this. Whether you are 5, 9, 12, 15 or 18, I’ve been in your shoes. (Okay, not your exact shoes, but I’ve been there.) And, while I’ve experienced a lot of what life can toss out, and I still remember what it is *feels* like to be in those shoes.

I remember feeling like the world was my playground. I was carefree and confident.

I remember what it was like plotting and planning new adventures with my friends.

I remember what its like to have big dreams to change the world. (Still have ‘em!)

I also remember what it feels like when everyone treats you like a little kid – always telling you to wait to do stuff when you are grown up. (Your age has nothing to do with being a grown-up.)

I remember being laughed at because my ideas were “crazy.”

I remember being told no. A lot. (It stinks feeling like you don’t have a say in anything, huh?)

And, unfortunately, I remember feeling like I didn’t fit in.

For awhile, I let those feelings get the best of my dreams, my choices and me.

That’s probably why now I love working with kids. I work with kids of all ages. However, I love, love, love hanging with the tween to teen set. You all are awesome. I believe in your ideas and energy to make a difference and lead some incredibly cool changes in the world.

I created a few cool programs to really give you the space feel heard, a place to fit in and the habits you need to make the choices that are best for you.

Again, I remember what it’s like to walk in those shoes. And, I’m here for you and your dreams. Oh - if you ever just want someone to talk to, feel free to get in touch at info@characterinc.com or 877-485-5222. Thanks!

With gratitude,
