With a BA in Child and Youth Care (counselling), Cori has spent over 20 years working with children and youth from ages 2 through 17 in a variety of settings that include classrooms and out of school care programs in public and Montessori schools, as well as in classrooms and on the units of a children’s residential psychiatric hospital.
