Meet the Author

The image is of a profile on a black background. The profile is full of lines of energy and movement, demonstrating one way we can think about expanding our nervous system.

My name is Em and I am a master educator, author, and working artist. I have been a practitioner – thinking, and writing about adult education – for over twenty years.

I have taught students of all ages and education levels, in almost all types of learning environments.

Em is wearing a brown turtleneck against a brown-streaked background. They're looking into the camera.

My book, “Building a Trauma-Responsive Educational Practice: Lessons from a Corrections Classroom,” the first book to examine the impacts of trauma on adult learning, is now available. I focused my writing on people impacted by incarceration and the criminal legal system, but trauma can present a profound learning block for people anywhere.

For people who are interested, here’s my current CV, you can find me on LinkedIn, and I’ve started a Trauma-Responsive educators listserv. If you are interested in inviting me to speak or teach, please reach out.
