What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to lead and innovate in special education, fostering an inclusive environment that supports all learners.

I am a dedicated special education professional with over 20 years of experience in various roles, including Special Education Director and Consultant. My journey has been driven by a passion for ensuring that all students receive the support they need to thrive academically and socially. In my current role as a Special Education Consultant, I provide expert guidance to schools and districts, helping them navigate the complexities of special education regulations and best practices.

Previously, as the Special Education Director for Jasper County Schools, I successfully managed compliance for IEPs and student services, collaborated with state departments, and trained staff on legislation and IEP compliance. My experience as an MTSS Coordinator further honed my skills in developing frameworks that support student growth and intervention strategies. I have also served as a teacher and case manager, where I developed strong relationships with students and families, ensuring their needs were met through tailored educational plans.
