My Advocacy Philosophy
It's obvious that an investment in children is an investment in the future. It may be less obvious that the American education system as a common good is under attack by a pervasive movement to privatize education. Efforts are already succeeding to re-make education into a personal good in the domain of the free market, not the government, under the guise of "choice."
Working in multiple domains, I support fully-funded public education as a common good engaging in this effort on all levels.
- I support our most vulnerable students, low-income exceptional education students through no-cost advocacy supports to ensure their access to free, appropriate public education.
- Teachers and administrators of traditional public schools as our nation's educational front-line workers. I support educators and their support staff through hands-on efforts.
- To help ensure the future of education, I work alongside like-minded advocates to engage in legislative advocacy efforts to fight privatization efforts.

Exceptional Student Education Advocacy
- Is your child struggling in school, and you don't know why?
- Did you recently learn that your child may have a disability?
- Does your child have an IEP, but they aren't making adequate progress towards their goals?
- Do you have an IEP meeting looming and want support?
I am a board-certified Educational Advocate and member of the National Association of Special Education Teachers. I exclusively serve parents of children who qualify for free and reduced-price lunch at NO COST.
My main goal is to teach you how to become a better, more effective advocate for your child as I do things with you, not for you. Let me know how I can help you!
