My Approach to Advocacy & Education
I believe real change in education starts with empowered voices—especially those of parents and educators.
Throughout my 31 years in schools, I saw firsthand how powerful it is when families feel confident speaking up, and when teachers are equipped to support every learner. My approach combines practical strategies with heartfelt encouragement—because advocacy isn’t just about policy; it’s personal.
Whether I’m coaching a parent, leading a training, or speaking from the stage, I focus on:
Collaboration over confrontation
Clarity over confusion
And always, what’s best for students
My work bridges the gap between school systems and the people they serve—because every child deserves a team that knows how to fight for them.
