Professional Bio
As a parent and researcher in the field of gifted education for over 20 years, I have dedicated my professional career to understanding and promoting improved educational experiences for high-ability students. My passion for this field stems from my personal experience as a parent of a gifted child who struggled to find the right educational fit. Through my research, I have discovered that this struggle is not unique and that many gifted students, especially those who are underrepresented, face similar challenges. My research focuses on gifted learners and how teachers can recognize and nurture their potential. I believe that ALL students deserve access to a high-quality education that challenges and supports their unique abilities. My work in this area has allowed me to develop innovative strategies and interventions that can be used to identify and support gifted students from diverse backgrounds.
