Not only is she amazing at asking the right questions to help you clarify a project and identify potential roadblocks and risks, but she is also highly innovative and always finds a solution that works for everyone and every budget.

Sophie K

I loved having Chanel as one of our building leaders! I think some of her biggest strengths were her communication and relationship-building skills. She did an amazing job at making sure everyone’s voices were heard and all aspects of a problem were analyzed. She was respectful and kind while also maintaining high expectations. Chanel helped our student services and grade level teams analyze data to create best practice supports and interventions both for individuals and large groups. She was data-driven and provided staff training and follow-up advice. Chanel was an excellent school administrator and I’d work with her again in a heartbeat!!

Samantha Gorksi, School Psychologist

“Chanel’s impact on me as a veteran teacher was tremendous! She has a special way of assessing current systems and streamlining them for maximum impact while preserving the human side of what educators and administrators do. Working with Chanel, I was guided, motivated, and supported through the process of scaling back on the distractions of “unnecessary extras” and refocused on the necessary key steps to reach my professional goals. Working with Chanel was a positive game-changer!”

Dr. Heather Kraus, EdD

“Chanel's attention to detail and ability to help educators become better, in such a way that it feels entirely organic, are some of her greatest qualities as a collaborator and leader. You not only feel like a person is truly listening, when you are speaking with Chanel, but that she will do her best to help you become better. Chanel will be an asset in any capacity she works with people.”
