About Cori

Hello, I'm Cori. Throughout my career in education, nothing has been more rewarding than watching students and staff truly thrive in environments built on respect for the full range of human needs, where what we hold in common is the starting point and everyone is willing to adjust.

This work is close to home for me. Three of my adult children are neurodivergent, including autism and dyslexia. I have seen firsthand how much a setting matters, how the exact same person can struggle in one space and flourish in another. More than that, I've watched a subtle feedback loop in action: how we perceive people shapes how we treat them, and how we treat them shapes what they are able to do in that setting. As the environment shifts, people grow into it, and they keep growing as we keep adjusting together.

As my children entered the workforce, I saw the same loop play out in a new way. A workplace can be a place where people name what they need without it costing them anything, and where nobody is expected to have all the answers. What matters is an open mind and a willingness to look for changes that are realistic for the employer and meaningful for the employee. That kind of honesty is not a concession either side makes. It is what lets people stop guessing about each other and enjoy working together.

I recognized my own neurodivergence later in life. I know how much energy goes into keeping pace with a room that was not designed with you in mind. I used to think of being quiet as something I had to work around. It turns out to be how I notice things and connect best. In a group, that means I read a room carefully before I speak into it. I genuinely like collaborating, and a good part of the work is finding the way each person can contribute at a level that feels comfortable to them. I want to look at what is actually happening in your classroom or office, and help you implement meaningful, sustainable changes that stick.
