All kids are capable of reaching their full potential with the right supports in place.

As the founder and lead advocate of Capable Kids, my passion for special education advocacy comes from a deeply personal place. As a parent of a child with disabilities, I've walked the same path you're on now. I know the challenges, the victories, and all the emotions in between that come with navigating the educational landscape for our kids. My own experiences fuel my dedication, and I am committed to ensuring that other families on similar journeys get the support and guidance they need.

More than just an advocate, I strive to be a compassionate ally.  My unique perspective as both a parent and a trained advocate allows me to approach each case with a blend of professional expertise and heartfelt empathy to every family I have the privilege to work with. I’m here to help, and I’m with you every step of the way.

Prior to shifting my focus to advocacy,  I spent over 15 years in the business world, 10 of which serving as Director of Marketing for an international non-profit.  In addition to my first-hand experience advocating for my own family and others, I am also a SEAT 1.0 graduate through the Council of Parent Advocates and Attorneys (COPAA) COPAA is a national organization committed to increasing the quality and quantity of special education advocates and attorneys, and creating a level playing field to ensure children with disabilities receive a meaningful, challenging education.
