Helping Families & Schools Navigate Learning Challenges With Clarity

About

I help schools build the student support programs every learner deserves.

Who I work with

Who I work with

For Schools & Educators

Building a student support program from scratch? Running one as a "department of one"? Modernizing a system that's stopped serving your students? I partner with school leaders and learning specialists to do this work well.

Who I work with

Three ways I can help

Two ways I can help

For families navigating disability services, IEPs, 504s, school placement decisions, and the advocacy work in between. Practical guidance from someone who knows the systems from the inside.

School Consultation & Coaching

For schools building, evaluating, or rebuilding their student support programs. We do the work together — with an equity lens and a focus on what's actually sustainable.

Professional Development

For school leaders, learning specialists, and special educators who want their practice grounded in current research, not whatever was true fifteen years ago.
