I am a lifelong learner who is deeply passionate about equity and access to education. I leverage my experience to  effectively support  students, families and teams as an assessor, consultant and coach. This experience includes:

Special Education Administrator

School Psychologist

Teacher: General, Special Education, Gifted

Educational Therapist

Parent

My depth of experience in education makes me a unique translator for practically addressing student needs across home and school settings. Sustained student success happens at the intersection of effective student, parent and school team communication.  Today’s educators and parents face increasing challenges, and I am here to help navigate the system and build a mutually respectful team.  I approach every client with a belief that their knowledge is equally important to mine or the school’s.

My career has focused on populations that do not fit our image of a “typical student”.  Clearly understanding student's learning profiles to empowering parents with the knowledge and skills to advocate for their students, students to advocate for themselves, and schools to be ready to work as a partner is integral to my approach. I emphasize tools to understand and effectively communicate across settings and roles as I lead multidisciplinary teams to explore creative solutions to increasingly complex challenges.
