Growing up in Madison, New Jersey, my career path wasn’t sparked by a textbook, but by my own desk in elementary school. While I personally navigated the frustrations of struggling in the classroom, I was fortunate to have an incredible support system. Those early experiences planted a lifelong seed: I knew I wanted to be a support for children and their families. That mission led me to Duke University, where I graduated with distinction with a degree in Psychology, and directly into Temple University’s doctoral program to earn my Ph.D. in School Psychology.

Today, with over 12 years of experience as a school psychologist, licensed psychologist, and former assistant principal, I see the whole child behind every evaluation and IEP meeting. I’ve worked across the entire K-12 spectrum, which has given me incredible insight to the range of educational demands throughout the school experience. I don’t just understand the data; I understand the intricacies of the system and, more importantly, the families navigating it.
