EVENT REFLECTIONS

Reflecting on GAEYC 2026

It was a pleasure speaking as a panelist on The Council Table Podcast Live during the Opening Plenary of the 2026 Georgia Association for the Education of Young Children (GAEYC) Annual Conference in Alpharetta, GA!

Thank you to the GAEYC Board of Directors and the Council for Professional Recognition for inviting me to participate! I thoroughly enjoyed catching up with current and former colleagues, mentees, students, staff and fellow advocates. ✨

Supporting Home Visiting Initiatives

What an incredible experience speaking at the 2026 Parents as Teachers International Conference in BEAUTIFUL Portland, Oregon!

I was honored to present English and Spanish sessions alongside my Council colleague Vilma Williams on "Stronger Together: Partnering with Families for Lifelong Learning and Development." The energy, passion, and commitment of conference attendees reinforced the importance of meaningful partnerships with families as the heart of lifelong learning and positive outcomes for children. 🎊

UPCOMING EVENTS

Advocating for Quality Systems in ECE

In education, family trust is not built at parent-teacher conferences. It is built in the small, steady moments.

Join me and Isabel Riley from illumine for a live session on the habits that turn everyday communication into relationships that last the whole year.
