In this role, she equips educators across all grade levels with tools to implement positive behavioral strategies, fostering supportive environments where children can emotionally thrive.

She holds a BA in Human Development from Pacific Oaks College, dual master’s degrees in Early Childhood Education and Organizational Leadership from National University, and a doctorate in Education from Fielding Graduate University, where her research focused on the impact of anti-racist learning communities. Additionally, she is a certified Professional Growth Adviser in Early Childhood Education for the California Department of Education.

Building on her experience teaching and directing preschool and school-age programs from 2000–2010, Dr. Smith has taught Early Childhood Education and Child Development courses at universities throughout the Bay Area since 2010. Her approach emphasizes reflective practice and relationship-building, promoting intentional play-based strategies that nurture children’s growth and inspire lifelong learning for both educators and families.
