Sandy Zimmerman is a dynamic, engaging speaker for educators, administrators and K-12 staff.

Sandy grew up poor and on welfare and spent time in the foster care system. Abused, neglected and a perfect 10 out of 10 when it comes to the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE's). Sandy knows firsthand what it means to overcome obstacles and defy the odds.

Thanks to caring adults who came along and instilled belief and hope she not only survived the trauma of her childhood but has gone on to thrive in life.
