Kendra provides presentations for our Tri-County Teachers’ Institute every year. She is a joy to work with and her presentations are positive, uplifting and inspirational! She engages and motivates using humor and insight through everyday life experiences that not only encourage us in our work as educators, but also in our own interpersonal relationships.  We are excited to have her share that day with us each year and highly recommend her presentations.
