Instructor Bio

I began my career as an adolescent substance abuse counselor, eventually becoming a program director/owner, where I spent 15 years managing programs in Texas, Arizona, and Colorado. A significant part of my work involved facilitating family education programs.

After earning my MBA in 2007, I decided to transition to a career in education and accepted a position as Director of Colorado State University’s Executive MBA Program. At CSU, I experienced a world class executive education program. I led international study tours to China, Russia, Germany, and Peru and developed a comprehensive leadership program that concentrated on emotional intelligence. 

Inspired by the success of CSU’s executive education program, in 2012, I started a Therapeutic Learning Center (TLC) for at-risk high school students, and began working as an Instructional Coordinator in CSU’s Online MBA program. 

As director of the TLC, I discovered CEB and found it to be the most effective program for emotions I had ever experienced. In 2019 I become a certified CEB teacher, and since then, teaching CEB to families and professionals has been the primary focus of my work.
