Hello! With decades of experience working with students, families, and persons with special needs, I have been providing care for the better part of my life. I am fortunate to have been able to blend my work in the field of education together with my love of learning and need for meaningful connection. And, gratefully, I believe that I gain even more than I give to each role and opportunity. As a nationally-award former teacher, district trainer and advocate, and innovator in the fields of education, disability rights, and development potential, I bring a diverse spectrum of experience and skills only matched by my passion and commitment. I meet every child and client with deep compassion, where they are, and I strive to build relationships as well as deep trust from day one.
