About

I began my professional life in the financial services sector, quickly rising to the executive level. In the process I gained extensive expertise in facilitative leadership, strategic planning, data analysis, and negotiation; skills that are invaluable in the world of special education advocacy. I entered the world of special education more than 25 years ago, advocating for my own children. Over time my volunteer advocacy efforts expanded to help family, friends, and eventually children who were wards of the state as a Special Education Surrogate Parent. I have received a plethora of training in special education, civil rights, and negotiating from a wide variety of places including, but not limited to the William and Mary Law Institute for Special Education (ISEA), the Special Education Advocacy Training (SEAT) program offered by COPAA.org, mediator training via The Center for Alternative Dispute Resolution and Training, The Suffolk University Advanced Legal Studies Program, and Parent Consultant Training from the Federation for Children with Special Needs. And, I have completed the COPAA, Advanced Advocacy Certification program and held positions as a board member and leader both with SPaN and with my local SEPAC. My ultimate goal is to empower individuals and organizations to become their own best advocates. I believe that if the special education system worked as designed, special education advocates would not be needed. I dream of the day this vision is a reality.
