I help education organizations, nonprofits, and advocacy coalitions build systems that center neurodivergent learners, engage families authentically, and future-proof for equity.

I’m an education systems strategist, board advisor, and organizational partner specializing in neurodiversity, family engagement, and equity-driven design.

My work is shaped by two decades in education, lived experience as a parent of neurodivergent children, and current leadership roles including Partnership and Programming with NABML. I advise nonprofits, advocacy coalitions, and education organizations on how to build systems that don’t just accommodate neurodivergent learners—but are designed for them from the start.

I also founded The Parenting Cipher, a community insight lab that keeps my work grounded in the lived realities of the families organizations claim to serve. This dual perspective—strategic advisor and embedded advocate—is what makes my work effective.
My approach is direct: I help organizations identify where their practices don’t match their stated values, design systems that close those gaps, and build accountability structures that make change sustainable.

I don’t do inspiration without implementation. I don’t design programs that look good in grant applications but fall apart in practice. And I don’t work with organizations that aren’t ready to be honest about where they’re falling short.

When I’m not advising organizations or facilitating board conversations, you’ll find me:
– With coffee in hand, translating complex systems into actionable strategy
– Gathering insights from The Parenting Cipher community
– Writing essays on education equity, neurodiversity, and what it really takes to build systems that work
