After teaching high school English, Sandra joined Yale's Center for Emotional Intelligence as a Program Coach and Master Trainer. She then opened Clifton Corner, a safe space of learning to support overwhelmed students who struggle with issues of perfection, motivation, organization, ADHD, learning differences, and self-esteem. Through the tools of mindfulness, creativity, leadership and positive psychology young people transform their identity to reach new goals of intellectual and personal growth, from middle school through college--and beyond. Sandra shares a special affinity with athletes and artists who shine with strengths outside of school—but may encounter challenges with time management, confidence, and academic insecurities in the classroom, or Twice-Exceptional individuals. Sandra also intuitively understands the struggles of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and supports Sensitive Students to navigate the stresses of school.
