I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Emmanuel University in 2011 and my master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Georgia in 2017. In 2018, I relocated to Northeast Florida, where I spent three years working as a behavior therapist within the school system before transitioning into the role of special education teacher for four years.
Throughout my career, I have supported students across the full continuum of services, from the least restrictive environment to more intensive, specialized settings. My work in education was always guided by a commitment to collaboration—bridging the gap between families and schools to ensure students receive the support they need to thrive. I believe that when parents and educators work together, meaningful and lasting progress is possible.
I founded Stronger Together Advocates to continue this mission by empowering families to navigate the special education process with confidence, both within the school system and across community-based services.
