Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed in school and beyond, and I’m here to ensure that happens. As a dedicated advocate with over 35 years of experience, I specialize in navigating the complexities of Section 504 and educational systems to secure the resources and accommodations your child is entitled to.

Every child deserves equal access to a high-quality education. As a dedicated advocate, I ensure that your child receives the accommodations, services, and opportunities they are legally entitled to under Section 504—whether in K–12 schools or into post-secondary education—empowering them to thrive in school and beyond.

Advocating for students with disabilities is more than my profession—it’s my life’s work. With over 35 years of experience, I approach every child’s needs with the same care and commitment as I would for my own. I don’t take “no” for an answer when it comes to your child’s success. I work collaboratively with families, school personnel, and all stakeholders to find creative, effective solutions that meet each student’s unique needs.

I bring decades of experience in education and advocacy, having served as a District Section 504/ADA Specialist, District Guidance Coordinator, Guidance Director, and teacher for one of the largest school districts in the United States.

I authored the "Section 504 Procedural Guidelines Manual and The Section 504 Accommodations Guide," for a district serving over 350 schools—504 procedures, guidelines, and resources that continue to support thousands of students.

My career has equipped me with a deep understanding of how schools operate and how to navigate “the system” to achieve the best outcomes for your child.

Serving as a Principal in a private special needs school has also given me the privilege of working closely within the public and private school sectors with families, schools, and district personnel to achieve the best possible student outcomes.

Recognition

My advocacy has been recognized with prestigious awards, including the Florida School Counselor of the Year by the Florida School Counseling Association and Broward County School Counselor of the Year. I’ve also been featured in Who’s Who of American Women for my contributions to education. I was chosen to be on the Board of Governors for Imagine Charter in Coral Springs, FL. Lastly, I was selected as a recipient of Citi Bank Success Fund Grant.

Training

I've trained thousands of educators on Section 504 compliance, procedures and accommodations equipping them to meet their student's needs better.

Nationally Recognized Speaker

I've had the honor and privilege of being invited to speak at legal and educational conferences about issues affecting students with disabilities.

Schools have professionals

sitting at the table, shouldn’t you?

With my expertise and unwavering dedication, I’ll ensure your child has equal access to the resources and support they need to succeed.

Equal access to your education isn’t a privilege - it’s a right.
