As a dedicated educational leader, I bring over 20 years of experience supporting students, staff, and families through the evolving landscapes of special education and pupil services. Currently serving as a Director of Pupil Services, I lead with a commitment to dignity, inclusion, and strategic systems change. My work centers on creating equitable access, building capacity among educators, and ensuring compliance with IDEA and Section 504, while always keeping students at the heart of every decision.I’ve served as Chair of the Pennsylvania Special Education Advisory Panel (SEAP), presented at state and national conferences, and earned my Ed.D. with a dissertation focused on postsecondary preparedness for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I’m passionate about mentoring, policy development, and integrating frameworks like Social Role Valorization into actionable practice.I believe great leadership balances vision with empathy, and I strive every day to build trust, inspire growth, and advocate for what's possible.
