“"I grew up with the privilege of attending excellent schools but without the benefit of intrinsically excellent executive function skills. My passion is developing these skills in others as I learned to do for myself through a combination of research, experimentation, collaboration, and direct instruction. My mission is to teach these skills to as many other people as I can."
