A place dedicated to helping parents like you raise confident, resilient kids who are ready to thrive in today’s world.
I’m so glad you’re here. As the founder of Rising Resilience, my passion lies in helping parents, educators, and families raise confident, emotionally resilient children who are ready to thrive. As a parent myself, I know how difficult it can be to navigate the ups and downs of raising kids in today’s world.
I’m a proud mom to a 27-year-old son, and while I celebrate the person he’s grown into, I often reflect on how much I’ve learned over the years—lessons I wish I had known when he was younger. Like many parents, I sometimes wish I could go back and handle the tough moments with more insight and skill. It’s these experiences, along with my professional background, that led me to create Rising Resilience. I don’t want you to feel like you’re on this journey alone, making the same mistakes or feeling lost without guidance. That’s why I’m here.
In addition to being a mom, I’ve spent over 10 years as a middle school teacher, working closely with students and families to address the challenges they face. Through this work, I’ve seen firsthand how building resilience changes not only children’s behavior but also their ability to handle life’s pressures. Social media, academic stress, peer dynamics—today’s world is full of complexities, but with the right tools, our kids can rise above them.
Over the years, I’ve worked with many families to improve communication, emotional regulation, and resilience-building, creating a healthier family dynamic. This work is incredibly rewarding, and it’s what I aim to offer you through Rising Resilience—practical solutions grounded in both personal and professional experience. I’m committed to sharing everything I’ve learned so that you and your children can thrive together.

The inspiration for Rising Resilience came from my own experiences as both a parent and a teacher. I saw so many families, including my own, struggling with the challenges of raising children in an increasingly fast-paced, pressure-filled world. There were moments when I wished I had better tools and guidance to manage those tough situations—and I saw the same need in the families I worked with.
I wanted to create a space where parents and educators could come together to learn, share, and find solutions. Rising Resilience was born out of this desire to help others avoid some of the pitfalls I encountered, and to give kids the skills they need to handle adversity, manage their emotions, and become confident, capable individuals.
I firmly believe that resilience isn’t something we’re born with—it’s something we can teach, nurture, and develop over time. That’s what Rising Resilience is all about: providing you with the resources and community to raise children who can bounce back from challenges and thrive.
