Kortney Peagram
My mission is to eradicate bullying through compassion, kindness, connection, and social boldness. I started Bulldog Solution and we run corporate and school programs (assemblies, PD, and student programs). We focus on leadership, team building, cyber/bullying, conflict, drama, online safety and diversity. I am passionate about training and professional development and I have been an adjunct professor for over 10 years. I am a total weirdo and a hot mess of a mother. I work way too much, but I love boxing, yoga, Soul Cycle, Freakonomics podcast, Ted Talks, coffee, and wine.
