Exciting News: Rooted Consultancy is Here! After years of working in education as a teacher, instructional coach, equity specialist, and policy advisor, I’m taking a leap into something new—and deeply personal. #NCed 1/5

I’m thrilled (and, honestly, a little anxious) to announce the launch of RootED Consultancy—a firm dedicated to helping schools, districts, and organizations build more inclusive learning environments. 2/5

RootED is more than a business—it’s a reflection of my experiences, my values, and my unwavering belief that every student deserves an education that honors who they are. 3/5

I’ll be working with partners across North Carolina and beyond to provide equity-driven training, policy guidance, and support for increasing educator diversity. This journey is both exciting and daunting, but I’m stepping forward with purpose. 4/5
