Hi, I'm Steph!

I'm a social coach who helps neurodivergent kids and teens go from socially challenged to socially competent, confident, and connected!

I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and master’s degrees in special education and education administration. I also have specialist certifications in autism, behavior support, traumatic brain injury, inclusion, and transition. 

I've been supporting neurodivergent students for 20 years as a special education classroom teacher, school administrator and behavior specialist for school districts throughout Texas. I have also run two private schools for neurodivergent kids, one of which I created independently. I currently serve on the Board of Directors for Braination, which runs charter schools in Texas for students in residential treatment centers, addiction recovery programs, juvenile detention centers, and foster care facilities in addition to open-enrollment charter schools.

I also run Start a Social Club, which licenses people to start and run their own social club like Starfish in their community, and I am a speaker/trainer/consultant!

In addition to all of this I'm also an Ironman triathlete, I can speak 3 languages to varying degrees of fluency, and in 2024 I explored 19 states and 3 countries, mostly with my bike and my kitty in tow! Did I mention I have ADHD? =)
