What I'm looking for

I seek roles designing inclusive SPED programs, leading teacher coaching and PD, using data-driven strategies to improve outcomes.

I am a dedicated Special Education Specialist with extensive experience designing inclusive programs, coaching educators, and delivering remote and in-person professional development. I combine strategic data analysis with creative pedagogy to support diverse learners and promote equitable outcomes.

I have led curriculum development and training initiatives for K–12 and early childhood settings, supervised cross-functional teams, and coordinated SPED services and caseloads. My work includes designing IEP-based curricula, implementing transition plans, and ensuring compliance with standards.

My achievements include developing and delivering training for 80+ staff, analyzing assessment data (My Teaching Strategies) to guide targeted support, and introducing Reggio Emilia–inspired approaches adapted for virtual environments. I provide direct services to students and families and lead multi-campus meetings.

I am passionate about leveraging technology and data to deliver high-impact learning solutions, resolving complex service challenges, and cultivating educator growth to improve student outcomes.
