My work has helped schools create curriculum, climate & culture/discipline systems, and has been awarded the National Blue Ribbon Award as well as highly competitive EIR grants.

HFAC specializes in integrating a multi-tiered systems of support approach to implementation of RTJP with an emphasis in SEL and community building. Much of our work has been centered around schools but has also been implemented in nonprofit organizations.

I have a masters in education and am an Honors Fellow at Rutgers University Camden, where I teach a course of RTJP. I created the RJ program for the School District of Philadelphia, Relationships First, and am supporting Camden City School District in creating a similar program, Cultivating Invincibility.

I'm currently working with CCSD to develop a restorative justice framework aligned to NJTSS and SEL branded as Cultivating Invincibility, which is being implemented in approximately 8 schools with scale up to include district-wide implementation over the next 3 years.
