The heart behind the Playbook
“As a mom navigating senior year myself, I quickly realized there wasn't one place that brought together timelines, traditions, planning tools, and encouragement. I created The Senior Year Playbook to help families slow down, stay organized, and truly enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime season.”
