I began my career as a special education teacher at a therapeutic high school, where I provided whole-class instruction, wrote IEPs, and conducted evaluations. Recognizing a critical gap in coordinated care, I co-founded one of the first multidisciplinary private practices alongside a pediatric neurologist. As the Education Specialist, I bridged communication between families, schools, and medical providers—conducting academic evaluations, supporting research, tutoring, and leading social skills groups.
Later, I launched a private tutoring practice focused on multisensory remedial instruction and executive functioning, collaborating with schools to help students achieve academic success and thrive. As a natural extension of my work with students, I also served as an Education Advocate, assisting families in navigating both school-based services and broader government-funded programs. Most recently, I was Director of Resources and Volunteer Programs at a nonprofit organization and served as a case manager, guiding individuals in crisis toward greater stability and self-sufficiency.
