I spent eight years in the classroom as a SPED and Title I elementary teacher, supporting students with a wide range of learning and behavioral needs. After that, I transitioned into inclusive higher education, working directly with college students with intellectual disabilities — helping build systems for independence, academic growth, and real-world success.
I now serve as the Director of Student Academic Success at the graduate level, where I support future healthcare professionals in developing strong learning strategies, self-regulation skills, and long-term academic resilience.
