I collaborate with educators, program leaders, and community partners to design learning that feels alive—experiential, creative, and connected to the real world. Whether you’re reimagining curriculum, planning professional development, or building something entirely new, I offer custom support rooted in experience, clarity, and collaboration.
Together, we’ll turn ideas into action and create learning experiences that last long after the lesson ends.
At Heckman Educational Consulting, my mission is to design learning experiences that actually connect—to people, to place, and to purpose. I help bridge the gap between ideas and impact through collaborative, customized solutions in curriculum, instructional strategy, and experiential learning. My goal is to spark curiosity, foster connection, and empower educators and organizations to turn bold ideas into meaningful, doable action.
I envision a future where learning is dynamic, purpose-driven, and rooted in real experiences. A world where individuals and organizations grow with intention, embrace change with curiosity and build meaningful connections beyond the classroom. At every stage of life, learning should empower people to meet challenges with confidence, creativity, and heart.
