    Dr. Jean Hess, EdD Special Education Administrator

  • "Dr. Kasandra is phenomenal. We thoroughly enjoyed her session with our group. While she was clearly knowledgeable, she also came across extremely relatable to our members. We walked away with invaluable tools - and it felt like we were just having fun with a friend!"

    Jehan Crump-Gibson, Esq.

  • I have worked side by side with Kasandra and observed firsthand her presentation and interaction style. She brings a calm and focused energy to all she does! Let her “cook up “and deliver a well thought-out plan for your team to put your goals in action.

    Barbara Mosely-Davis, Project Manager Delta Research & Educational Foundation

  • "Kasandra is a phenomenal leader and colleague who guides groups identify and achieve goals aimed at the greater good. Her approach to leadership development and team building is more than needed after the the past few years of collective trauma and burnout. Working with Kasandra is a gift as she brings her perspective from extensive experience across many different sectors to meet you as an individual and your team where you are at."

  • '"I appreciate being able to be part of the baking experience. It was unique, eye-opening, and on point!

    Dr. Derrice Randle, EdD Educational Trainer and Former High School Principal

  • "The intersection of baking and leadership made for a phenomenal experience. As a leader in schools, I was able to make strong connections to the work that I do everyday. Although I am not a baker, I was fully immersed in the preparation, the baking and the discussion. The connections that we were able to make as a team of school leaders was powerful and allowed me to think through current and future decisions in a space with other leaders and not alone on an island. As a veteran leader, I learned a lot in the session through our collegial conversations and in the kitchen as a new baker. I would love to have Dr. Kasandra bring this experience to my team to not only get a deeper understanding of the implications of leadership but to have a tasty dish at the end of all of us to enjoy."

    Dr. Jason McGhee EdD , Trainer, Speaker, Elementary School Principal
