Inspiring Conversations That Spark Change

At Teach with Empathy, we believe every audience deserves to walk away with not just ideas, but actionable strategies they can use right away. Through engaging presentations and workshops, we bring clarity, compassion, and practical tools to the conversation around executive function, resilience, and learning.

I share my personal journey growing up during the Bosnian War and connect it to lessons of resilience, hope, and the power of choice.

My speaking engagements are designed to leave students motivated, educators equipped, and families empowered to support growth and success.

Through storytelling, interactive reflection, and actionable strategies, I guide audiences to:

• Recognize their inner strength

• Build essential life skills like executive functioning, organization, and self-regulation

• Develop empathy and supportive relationships

• Take positive action in school and life
