The Collaborative Educational Advocates

About us

Mission

I understand that the process of an IEP or 504 Plan can feel overwhelming. My mission is to empower families to make informed decisions regarding their child’s education. With experience as both a School District Administrator and a Parent Advocate, I know what it takes to get your child’s needs met.

I  believe that ALL children deserve a quality education in an inclusive and equitable learning environment.
