Educator - Speaker - Author - Brain & Math Nerd I love helping educators understand how the brain naturally learns. (For clean air advocacy: @liesl4cleanair.bsky.social)

Mother Nature was no match for the fierce teachers in Reading, PA this past week. Presenting during a massive power outage, thunderstorms, tornado warnings, and countless delayed flights — I’ll chase down any flight, in any kind of weather, to share my message with teachers.

Excited to present at NCSM this October! Join my Spotlight Session: Math Education Makeover with the Brain in Mind 📆 Mon, October 26, 2026 ⏱️ 1:30-2:30 PM We’ll explore how brain science can help educators create engaging learning experiences I can’t wait to connect with fellow educators! 🎉
