About Me
I began my career in the education industry as a founding member of a high-needs school in the South Bronx, New York. My early years were defined by long nights of meticulous lesson planning, managing a diverse range of learning needs, and navigating the complexities of special education with underprivileged students from low socio-economic backgrounds.
As part of the schools’ leadership team, my responsibilities also included developing our special education department. This required me to design systems, structures, and protocols that would foster a collective and aligned dedication among all stakeholders to support all students.
Having spent the last 15 years in this education space as a teacher, administrator, adjunct instructor, literacy specialist and consultant, my mission is to help leaders harness the power of research-based and data-based decisions needed to make meaningful, individualized decisions that elevate student success, particularly for those who need it the most.
