Emily Santiago, LEP, NCSP

When I needed someone with expertise in Curriculum Design and Social Justice, I contacted Freda. She helped my company synthesize our Reflective Supervision work at the Center for Cognitive Diversity. Using her excellent communication skills and experience in education, she took a complex process and developed a concise and user friendly manual. She is patient and professional yet fun to collaborate with. I would definitely hire her again!
