She enjoys sharing her scholarly research and evidence based practices on a vast array of self-care elements that support educators to build their self-efficacy as they implement practical self-care strategies that meet their specialized needs.

With over 22 years of experience as a formally trained elementary and middle school teacher, public school administrator, yoga teacher and a B4C Social Emotional Learning Facilitator, Dr. Smith has contributed vastly to the field of education.

Her speeches help to liberate educators from the myth that in order to be a great educator you must work incessantly and put everyone else's needs before your own self-care needs. Dr. Smith encourages educators to examine the ways that they might prioritize themselves and center their self-care needs as a venue to maintain their wellness and increase their longevity in the field of education while they confront the current challenges of leading in public education.
