What I'm looking for
I am an experienced special education professional and licensed therapist with a background in program coordination, instructional leadership, and private practice. I have opened and operated a counseling practice internationally while providing teletherapy to clients worldwide.
In K–12 settings I have served as Special Education Department Chairperson, Program Coordinator, Case Manager, and Virtual Special Educator, using data analysis to develop student goals and ensure compliance with federal and state requirements. I routinely facilitated stakeholder meetings and documented progress using online tools.
I founded and managed businesses, hiring and supervising teams, designing training programs, and coordinating events to grow services. My strengths include presenting, coaching, staff development, and creating welcoming learning environments for students with special needs.
I hold a Master of Education and leadership certifications, and I combine clinical skills as an LPC-A with educational leadership training to improve outcomes for students and clients. I seek roles that leverage my counseling expertise, special education leadership, and program development experience.
