About Me

I am an educational consultant, licensed teacher, trauma-informed specialist, and mom to a disabled son.

I know firsthand what it’s like to be the primary caregiver to a child who does not fit a system, a set of rules, and a generic outline. I learned that rather than forcing my son into my life, I needed to find ways to fit into his.

Over a decade ago, I left the public school system to home educate my son. The journey has been profound and winding. I thought I knew what kind of teacher I wanted to be for him. Instead, I have become the humble student. I am a work in progress.

I am passionate about speech and language acquisition as well as literacy development in children as I have learned the basics of ASL alongside my son. I also consider myself a stubborn researcher—never satisfied with the status quo, always in search of educational innovation.

As an advocate for disability rights, I have a particular affinity for educational accessibility in both policy and design.

You will also find me standing up for all human rights. We can never uphold the disabled community without supporting all communities that have been oppressed by white supremacy and authoritarian models.

I view home education as resistance to systems that have rejected individuals like my son over the decades. Alternative education is my silent protest against institutionalization and oppression. In my little corner of the world, I work toward accessibility through equity-centered approaches to education.
