Path of Life, Inc.
Lighting the path to every child's promise.
For more than 54 years, I have devoted my life to guiding children toward their promise and purpose — as an English and ESL teacher, reading interventionist, mentor, and multicultural educator.
Today, through my memoir I Have a Dream for Every Boy & Girl and my consulting work, I continue that mission alongside teachers, schools, and communities shaping the next generation.

About the Book
I Have a Dream for Every Boy & Girl is a memoir of hope, purpose, and the power of believing in children. Through stories from five decades in the classroom, I share the lessons, challenges, and triumphs that shaped my life's work—and the lives of the students I served.
This book is for educators, parents, leaders, and anyone who believes in the promise within every child.
