My efforts in research are focused on the contributions of neurobiology to education. The evidence of the connections between our actions, beliefs, physical health and learning are compelling. I have been an instructor of extended studies for Adams State College for 7 years and currently own and operate Gray Matters®. Our goal at Gray Matters is to re-ignite learning in every classroom using brain-compatible curriculum to further academic achievement.
I have been teaching in Colorado for 13 years. My undergraduate degrees are in History and Psychology and I received my master's degree from the University of Denver.
I offer ongoing staff development in the areas of At-Risk training as well as In-services in a wide range of topics in a number of Western States. I have had the honor of presenting at National Conferences.
