Meet Danielle

With over 25 years of experience as an educator, specializing in High School and Middle School Social Studies, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to my role as an 8th-grade American History teacher. Beyond the classroom, I provide invaluable support to students and families as an Executive Function Coach, helping students develop effective routines and strategies for success.

I provide guidance and support to individuals of all ages, from young learners to adults, who struggle with executive function skills. Whether it’s navigating the academic journey of college students or assisting adults in various aspects of their lives, I ensure that each person has the necessary tools and strategies to excel and thrive.

Additionally, I have developed and taught professional development courses for teachers, focusing on creating Executive Functioning Friendly Classrooms. I also share my expertise through presentations at workshops. My educational journey includes a Bachelor’s degree in 7-12 Integrated Social Studies from Bowling Green State University, a Master’s in Education from Ashland University, and a Learning Differences and Neurodiversity Certificate in Executive Functioning from Landmark College.

As a wife and mother of two, my personal experience with ADHD and Executive Functioning began with my oldest child’s struggles in first grade. This journey has fueled my commitment to supporting individuals facing similar challenges. Through continuous learning and dedication, I strive to create inclusive learning environments and help students thrive.
