Executive Function Coach helping young adults build skills for success.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Executive Function Coach and Advocate who partners with young adults and their support systems to make learning more accessible and achievable. With over a decade working with exceptional learners, I focus on building the tools to access executive functions more often, especially during transitions, anxiety, and school refusal.
At EdFront Online, I create implementation plans with stakeholders and families, provide advocacy in IEP meetings, and modify assignments to match individual needs. I use “whole brain science” to guide clients in uncovering natural tendencies, strengths, and current patterning—so students can move toward their version of success.
My coaching is grounded in classroom and specialist experience as a Special Education Teacher and Learning Specialist, where I delivered engaging instruction, supported growth through assessments, and helped shape behavior management using positive, restorative approaches. I’ve also led family engagement and contributed to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work, bringing a collaborative, responsive mindset to every plan I build.
