Helping teachers thrive one real, honest conversation at a time

Hi, I’m Adri! I'm an educator, coach, and your go-to “big sister” in teaching. Over my career, I’ve taught in classrooms, mentored new teachers, led professional development, spoken at national education conferences, and worked alongside administrators to improve school culture. I’ve seen firsthand how the right kind of support can transform a teacher’s confidence, skills, and joy in the job.

Why I Do This Work
When I started teaching, I had so many questions, so many ideas, and, if I’m being honest, so much self-doubt. I felt like I was barely keeping my head above water (or, the piles of work to be graded) and making all kinds of mistakes. I wished I had someone to turn to who could give me honest advice without judgment, and practical strategies I could use right away. Now, I get to be that person for other educators.

My Coaching Approach

  • Warm + Direct: I’ll cheer you on and tell you the truth (because both matter).

  • Practical + Actionable: Every session leaves you with clear steps, not just “food for thought.”

  • Tailored to You: Your goals, your classroom, your style.


If you’re looking for a coach who will believe in you, challenge you, and help you feel in control of your classroom again, you’ve found her. Let’s start with a conversation.

Fun Facts About Me

  • I’m a coffee-before-anything-else kind of person.

  • My favorite sound is the “ohhh!” when a student finally gets it.

  • I’m also a proud mom with one in college and one on the softball field.
