| Educational Psychologist • Educator • Speaker • Founder & Host, The Wise Old Owl
My life’s work has never been simply about education. It has been about enhancing the human experience—and developing the knowledge, curiosity, confidence, and resilience we need to live meaningful lives.
Over more than fifty years and five careers, primarily in education, I’ve taught students from second grade through college, worked as an educational psychologist, developed programs for corporations, lectured on educational issues, and helped students and families find the educational paths that fit them best.
Across every chapter of my career, one purpose has remained constant: helping people recognize their possibilities, continue learning, and become their best selves. Many of the people I’ve worked with still remember that—and many remain in my life today.
That work isn’t finished. It has simply found a new forum.
Through The Wise Old Owl, I bring a lifetime of experience to the opportunities and challenges we face today. From typewriters to TikTok to artificial intelligence, our world has changed in ways we could never have imagined. Together, we’ll look beyond what is merely new and ask what truly helps us learn, grow, and flourish. What should we embrace? What must we preserve? And what will always make us deeply human?
I’m still learning, and I’m not done asking questions. Whatever your age, I invite you to continue the journey with me.
