Let's get your child the educational resources they need to thrive.
I help families navigate the challenges of education, whether it’s advocating for a child’s IEP, securing accommodations, or simply answering questions about where to go next. With years of experience and a deep understanding of how schools work, I’m here to provide clarity and support when you need it most.
Over time, I’ve seen how overwhelming the education system can feel for families. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to guide parents with compassion and expertise, helping them feel confident in securing the resources their child needs to thrive.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the process and want a clear path forward, I’m here to help you find the right solutions for your child’s success. Together, we’ll make sure they get the support they deserve.
From the start of my teaching career, I felt a special connection to students with academic challenges. Supporting these learners and partnering with their families inspired me to become a resource specialist, where I focused on closing educational gaps and watching students’ confidence soar. This journey eventually led me to become an educational advocate and consultant, combining my passion for evidence-based practices with a strong belief that families deserve clear guidance to navigate the complexities of the school system so they can make the best choices for their child.
Let’s work together to ensure your child gets the support they need to thrive!
With extensive experience in both education and advocacy, I’ve guided countless families through the complexities of the school system. Having worked on both sides of the table, I understand how school teams operate and know how to push for the actions needed to get the job done. This perspective, combined with years of working with students across diverse educational settings, has deepened my understanding of the unique needs of all learners. Whether you’re beginning the IEP process or refining an existing plan, I provide steady, strategic guidance to ensure your child’s supports are thoughtful, appropriate, and driving real academic growth.
When I’m not working, you’ll often find me enjoying the sunny San Diego weather. I’m an avid hiker who loves anything active outdoors, from exploring local trails to spending time at the beach.
Located in San Diego, I offer in-person meetings and school support for local families, while also providing virtual services to families nationwide.
