With 17 years of experience in education, I have dedicated my career to supporting students with diverse learning needs through evidence-based instruction, collaboration, and individualized support. As the Exceptional Student Services (ESS) Coordinator, 504 Coordinator, and Designated Dyslexia Screener at San Tan Charter School, I work alongside educators and families to create inclusive learning environments where every student has the opportunity to succeed.
My educational journey began at Arizona State University, where I studied Social and Behavioral Sciences. I later continued my education in Special Education, which deepened my passion for advocating for students with disabilities and developing meaningful, individualized supports. Now nearing the completion of my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of Arizona Global Campus, I am preparing to pursue graduate studies in Educational Psychology. My long-term goal is to earn my doctorate and continue advancing my expertise in learning, assessment, and evidence-based practices to make an even greater impact on the students, families, and school communities I serve.
Throughout my career, I have received specialized training in Orton-Gillingham, Lindamood-Bell Seeing Stars, Montessori education, and dyslexia screening. These experiences, combined with my background in psychology and special education, have strengthened my commitment to data-informed decision-making, literacy intervention, and ensuring students receive the individualized support they need to thrive.
Helping students discover their strengths, partnering with families, and collaborating with educators are the most rewarding aspects of my work. I believe every child deserves access to an education that recognizes their unique abilities and empowers them to reach their full potential, and I remain committed to lifelong learning and advocacy in service of that mission.
