10th Annual Wellness Together Conference

I lead the Behavioral and Mental Health business at Riverside Insights, where I am building the next generation of solutions to support the well being of students, educators, and families. Previously, I founded and led Move This World, a PreK through 12 behavioral and mental health platform that reached more than 4 million students across 45 states and 9 countries. In March 2026, I sold Move This World to Riverside Insights and joined its leadership team to help build an integrated approach to screening, assessment, instruction, intervention, and progress monitoring.

DESSA x Move This World helps districts move from fragmented efforts to a connected behavioral health framework. By combining DESSA's evidence-based screening, assessment, and progress monitoring with Move This World's engaging PreK-12 instruction, districts can connect insight to action across their MTSS model.

Educators can identify student strengths and needs, deliver aligned classroom instruction and targeted supports, monitor growth over time, and demonstrate the impact of their investments. Schools using DESSA have reported reductions in discipline referrals, suspensions, and absenteeism, while Move This World helps reinforce the skills students need to succeed academically and socially. Together, they create a continuous cycle of support that helps schools improve outcomes while making better use of limited resources.
