Parent Consultant & Educational Advocate

Navigating the special education system can feel overwhelming. You don’t have to do it alone.

After more than 40 years in education, I understand how schools work and how important it is for families to feel heard, informed, and prepared.

My goal is to partner with you to help prepare for meetings and feel confident navigating the system.
