As a passionate scholar-practitioner dedicated to empowering neurodiverse learners, I have built my career on providing specialized academic therapy, transition coordination, and workplace coaching to individuals with ADHD, Autism, and other learning challenges.

My journey began as an Associate Clinic Director at Lindamood-Bell, where I earned recognition as a “Star Trainer” for my expertise in instructional integrity, particularly in reading and math interventions. This experience fueled my passion for working with neurodiverse students and adults.

Inspired by my parents’ teaching legacy and my role as a catechist and 4th-grade coordinator at Mother Seton Parish, I pursued advanced graduate studies in special education, psychology, online learning, and transition planning. I earned a specialization in Transition Special Education from George Washington University, further honing my skills in supporting students as they move from school to college or the workforce.

My career as a lead teacher included general education, inclusion, and self-contained classrooms in Montgomery County, Maryland (math, English, reading). As a special educator, I developed and implemented IEPs and 504 Plans for tweens and teens with disabilities. I also worked as an after-school activity coordinator, creating programs that supported special education students’ diverse needs beyond the classroom.

As an academic therapist, transition coordinator, and workplace coach, I help tweens, adolescents, and adults with ADHD and Autism succeed in the classroom, navigate key life transitions, and develop critical job skills. I combine research-based strategies with personalized interventions to ensure success in school, work, and life. I build independence by working closely with individuals, families, educators, and employers.
