Dylan Dean has worked in various roles in education for the past 18 years always with the focus on child and youth mental health advocacy and social-emotional wellness. Certified in Yoga, Mindfulness, and most recently in the transformative program MindUp, Dylan has managed to take her passion for holistic wellness and incorporate it into every facet of her career.
From her roots as an interpreter to her work in the classroom as a special education assistant, to creating and running her own youth-focused mindfulness program, Dylan has always believed that social-emotional education and wellness is pivotal for children to learn personal growth and self-awareness skills allowing them to better understand their brain-body connections, manage their emotions, develop empathy, and foster positive relationships.
Dylan's latest endeavor has been collaborating within her K-12 school community to bring MindUp- a program that beautifully combines neuroscience, positive psychology, mindful awareness, and SEL- to all students and staff.
