Hi! I’m September.

I collaborate with amazing people at all levels (from program staff to state and federal systems) to make life better for young children and the adults who care for them.

I'm known for being straightforward, for "telling it like it is" - I am very aware of the broad reality of our field and what the day-to-day is really like in early childhood programs all over the country. I work with that understanding to help people find what is possible through creativity, prioritization, and effort.

I help early childhood professionals implement research-based teaching, coaching, and professional development practices, and to prevent challenging behavior in adults and children.

There’s nothing I love better than the moment when a seasoned professional tells me that I've completely changed the way they think and how they operate. The moment when a teacher tells me that their children are using skills they never imagined three-year-olds were capable of. I'm so grateful that I get to play a part in these transformations. 

Some other things you might want to know about me:

I have a BA in Elementary Education and Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership. You can find my complete resume here.

Over the last 20 years, I have been a teacher, administrator, parent educator, and coach.  I'm also a mom of one teenager and one young adult, and stepmom of two more teens.

Prior to becoming an independent consultant, I worked for the University of Washington as the Practice-Based Coaching Coordinator at the National Center on Quality Teaching and Learning.   

I am a fan of yoga, a former and future runner, a voracious reader, and have a quirky sense of humor.

I can’t wait to work with you!
