I've written the book, Engagement is Not a Unicorn (It's a Narwhal): Mind-Changing Theory and Strategies that Will Create Real Engagement because "engagement" is a term used so often in education but not one that often has a shared understanding between any two people.  This book creates a common understanding.  

​My second book, The BIG Book of Engagement Strategies: A Continuation of the Book Engagement is Not a Unicorn (It's a Narwhal), has over 50 more strategies including ones from a dozen different educators to help educators find even more ways to help students engage in learning.

​I came to education because I wanted to write but needed a back-up plan because I knew I couldn't become a well-paid, famous author overnight and I didn't want to live with my parents for the rest of my life.  I was fortunate because my cooperating teacher was inspirational and I realized I loved teaching. 

I became a certified Reading Specialist after completing my Master's degree in education at the University at Buffalo, and prior to that my Bachelor of Arts in English from Alfred University.  Finally, I received my Ph.D. in Educational Administration from the University at Buffalo.

​In terms of my work history, I am an Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction, and Technology for a suburban school district in WNY. Prior to this, I was the Director of Elementary Education in a large suburban school district.  Some additional highlights of my career include my work as an English Teacher, Staff Developer, Principal, Director of Instruction, and Superintendent.  In each position, I was known for my leadership among students, faculty, and staff, and my drive toward excellence for the entire school community. 

​I am also a very proud wife and mother who values the importance of work/life balance (which I'm still working on).  My husband and I have three children, who make us smile and teach us the importance of patience and humor!

From Komal:

Now, let me share with you a critical time of my life, that really helped me cement this work as my path in life.

In 2016, I produced a documentary film, Dream, Girl, about female entrepreneurs that landed me on Oprah Winfrey’s Super Soul 100 list. The film premiered at the Obama White House and I shared my story as part of a White House Council on Women and Girls initiative.

That same year, I was diagnosed with a very rare form of skin cancer. A few months later, I suffered a neurological illness that forced me to leave my start-up and relocate my life in a matter of days.

Amidst all of the chaos, I have managed to overcome these illnesses, rebuild my life, and lead an impact-driven career by continuing to show up for myself, day in and day out.

I’ve learned that I don’t need to prioritize my professional goals over my personal wellbeing. I can be grounded and healthy and resilient as I build towards my ambitions and dreams. In fact, I require the former to have a career that’s actually sustainable and doesn’t lead me to hit walls and burn out over and over again.
