Here, you’ll find insights into my journey and the many lessons I've learned. I'm excited to share my adventures as I travel into a different realm of education as a Learning Success Coach and Educational Trainer as I continue to write thought-provoking and engaging books.

Her infectious enthusiasm bleeds into everything she does—and it is evident to all of her students that Doc views teaching not as a job but as a calling. It is incredibly admirable to watch her in her element, and it has been our biggest honor to call ourselves her students.
