I have spent over 15 years in education, functioning in different capacities for school districts in Marin, Sonoma, and Contra Costa counties as well as in Newton, Massachusetts.  I understand the world of learning differences and how frustrating and painful it can be to watch your child struggle. I have spent my career working with students and their families to help them navigate the often confusing spaces of assessment and special education. I have helped countless parents understand the complicated set of laws, rights, accommodations, and resources available for students with disabilities. I am passionate about being an ally for those who need help navigating the educational system.  

As a Marin County native, I graduated with honors from UC Davis, majoring in Psychology and minoring in Sociology, and continued on to earn a Master’s degree in School Psychology from St. Mary’s College of California.  Having started my career in Sonoma County, I moved with my family to Boston and survived 7 long New England winters before happily returning to the Golden State.  I live in San Rafael with my husband and twin daughters.  In my free time, I enjoy taking advantage of all San Francisco, Marin, and California have to offer, including jogging, hiking, and cheering on my beloved Niners and Warriors.
