Special Education Advocate & Parent Consultant

Is your kid Atypical?

That’s great news.

Have you ever wondered…

“What’s up with my kid?”

All parenting comes with its share of challenges. But does it feel like your parenting journey is even more challenging than those around you? Does the typical advice people offer just not work with your kid? Does it seem like your child is ahead in some areas of life, and behind in others? Do your child’s actions and reactions seem more intense and unpredicatable than their peers? Are you exhausted? You are NOT alone.

Let Me Help…

With first steps:

Where do I start?

Who should I talk to?

With next steps:

Now what?

What resources are out there?

How can my child’s school help?

How can my community help?

How can my family thrive?

About me

Thanks for being here!

I believe every child deserves an opportunity to meet their highest potential, and my goal is to provide parents with the support they need to ensure that their child succeeds. I am the mother of two, and I have been down this road myself. I staunchly believe that all neurodiversity should be embraced by our school systems and celebrated in our communities. I have a Masters in Education in Cognitive Diversity, as well as certification in Twice Exceptional Education, and a background in Speech Language Pathology. My prior experience focuses largely on ADHD, Gifted, and/or Twice Exceptional kids.

I am a pre-school teacher, and have been a volunteer in my community, working with children, for over a decade. I was honored by Verizon as one of their 2022 Women’s International Champions Cup Community Best XI for my commitment to growing girls’ soccer and advocating for athletes’ rights across all sports, genders, and ages.

I am a parent support group facilitator through SENG (Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Gifted). Getting your children’s educational needs met can be daunting , and my goal is to help guide your family through this process. I will aid you on this journey to help make it as stress-free as I can.
