Hello Friends,

I am a behavioral specialist and educator completing an MA in Behavior Analysis at The University of Iowa. My background includes a decade of global consulting and teaching across seven countries, as well as extensive domestic work helping families secure critical educational support and infrastructure for disabled students.

With a career spanning early childhood education, including decorated pedagogical work with the U.S. State Department and NYC Teaching Fellows, I focus on making environments more accessible. I am developing Educational Design Therapy.
