I’m thrilled to announce that my upcoming debut book, The Pursuit of What's Possible: Inside the Journey of Launching an Entrepreneurial Public School—The Guide I Wish I Had, is in the works! The manuscript is done, currently being edited and developed for publishing in 2026.
This book takes readers behind the scenes of my journey in creating the Clara Brown Entrepreneurial Academy, the first-of-its-kind K-8 public entrepreneurial magnet school in Colorado (and still just one of few nationwide), and explores how we empowered students to thrive by nurturing their entrepreneurial spirit and teaching them to lead with empathy. It’s a candid look at the challenges, breakthroughs, and inspiring stories that shaped this one-of-a-kind school, offering a blueprint for educators, parents, and leaders looking to disrupt traditional education and make a lasting impact on students' lives through entrepreneurial skills.
