Caroline wants students to feel seen and know they have a place in the world  by meeting students where they are.  Once students have a sense of belonging, true learning success is possible.

As a second careerist, Caroline began teaching in 2007.  She has been published numerous times--policy briefs, articles, lesson designs--and assisted on a book for ESL students learning Social Studies.  Caroline has worked as an Associate Professor of Economics at Collin College and AP reader for the AP Macroeconomics exam.  In 2013, Caroline received the Frank R. Kemerer award for Outstanding Social Studies Teacher for the State of Texas.  Her daughter is a pediatric orthopedic surgical PA and assistant professor of medicine while her son is a transactional real estate attorney.  Caroline intends to travel the 7 continents--only 4 more to go--and has a pouty hound dog named Stella.
