Debbie brings a unique perspective to her work with students living overseas, as she was born and raised overseas. The experience this life afforded her coupled with over 30 years of experience as a School Psychologist, Counselor, and Adjunct Professor have become integrated into a perspective that benefits all students. Debbie is a committed educator and brings experience, compassion, and understanding to her work with students, families, and teachers.

One of Debbie’s strengths is in understanding human development and integrating developmental principles into her work. This deeper understanding of the learner invites teachers, parents, and students to also view challenges through a lens that encourages more individualized solutions. Debbie’s vision of educational work is one where students are empowered and encouraged to see themselves as the most important agent of change in their lives.
