Daphne is a lifelong resident of Tampa Bay with over 15 years of public-school leadership experience. She is passionately dedicated to creating equitable and inclusive environments where students’ emotional intelligence and academic achievement are prioritized, nurtured and celebrated every day. Her years as a school administrator allowed her to hone her natural gifts for thinking strategically, solving problems, building community, and cultivating partnerships.

Today, as an Educational Programs Specialist at Frameworks of Tampa Bay, Daphne provides training and coaching to adults throughout the Tampa Bay region on why and how to develop emotional intelligence in their children, students, and mentees. Daphne’s approach to training and coaching is designed to promote a sense of individual and collective efficacy and commitment to the power of EQ among the adults who are raising, educating and supporting our community’s children. She creates these experiences by offering engaging content with real world applications, providing trainees opportunities to reflect and connect, and making sure they always have time to learn from one another.
