About

I am a dual-certified special ed teacher, IEP Coach, children's book author, + mentor who provides professional development for teachers. I'm also a huge mental health advocate, sharing my experiences + struggles to let others know that you can survive the dark seasons + thrive in life and teaching with a mental illness. I spent 7.5 years in the traditional classroom, teaching in multiple states + special education settings and grades, & 10+ years in education. I've always enjoyed writing IEPs + am a self proclaimed data nerd. Upon leaving the classroom, I dove in to learning more about special ed law and student + parent rights - where I quickly realized that a formal IEP training for teachers was needed. I understand that not everyone will love IEPs as much as I do, but it is my hope that with the appropriate training + resources, teachers will not only advocate harder for student services and supports, but also bridge the gap between teachers + families to foster a true IEP Team.
