Deep kindness takes courage and it starts when our kids are little.
I’m a mom, educator, and kindness advocate. I created Team Kind Humans to give families the tools and encouragement to raise kids who are not just smart — but also deeply kind and courageous.
For over a decade, I’ve worked with children and families, combining what I know about education with what I believe about empathy, activism, and love.
Now, I’m bringing that to your kitchen table.
If you’ve ever wondered “How do I help my kids care?” or “Where do I even start?” — you’re in the right place.
In a world that’s noisy, fast-paced, and often overwhelming, it’s easy to feel like kindness isn’t enough.
But I believe kindness is the start of everything.
It’s the seed of courage. Of advocacy. Of community. Of love.
When we give kids space to learn about the world, ask hard questions, and do something — they grow into humans who know how to listen, lead, and care.
That’s the heart behind everything I create.
KindSchooling is a philosophy that blends learning with purpose.
It taps into what kids naturally love — like art, baking, nature, and storytelling — and uses those interests to explore big ideas, build empathy, and inspire action.
KindSchooling weaves together:
Academic learning
Emotional intelligence
Community service
Joyful creativity
Whether you're a full-time homeschooler or just looking for meaningful afterschool learning, KindSchooling helps your family raise not just kind kids — but confident, thoughtful world-changers.
At Team Kind Humans, we offer practical, powerful resources built around our KIND Method:
Know: Learn the story behind the issue
Inquire: Ask thoughtful questions
Noodle: Think deeply and creatively
Do: Take kind, courageous action
Through our programs, your family can:
Use books to spark big conversations
Discover inspiring people doing real good
Connect with causes and nonprofits
Complete service projects — together
Whether you’re brand new to kindness-based learning or already leading the way — you belong here.
We’re building a community of thoughtful, justice-minded parents who want to raise kind kids together.
Want in? I’d love to have you.
I originally wanted to be a sandwich artist at Subway because I couldn't see over the counter to know what they were doing. But at age 7 I decided I would become a teacher and never looked back. I taught in the elementary classroom for 6 years before staying home with my two kids.
I was a public-school teacher and I never envisioned my kids going anywhere else. Until the world shut down in 2020 and forced us to home educate for a year. Little did I know I would fall so hard for this new way of learning. We are four years in and loving it all, the easy and the hard.
I think it's time we flip the script on community service and give it a more positive spin. Kids are willing to help if we make it fun and engaging. No more boring required hours when you're elbow-deep in papier-mâché' or writing letters about why you love to play outside.
I've been researching the science of kindness for my upcoming book, Raising Kind Humans. Kindness improves mental health, strengthens empathy and confidence, and helps kids develop problem-solving skills. The more I learn about kindness the more I want to develop easy-to-implement lessons for families to use at home.
