About me

Certified Orton-Gillingham educator and IEP advocate serving Long Island

I'm a certified Orton-Gillingham educator and special education teacher with four years of classroom experience and over a decade of private tutoring. I've supported students from kindergarten through third grade with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and other language-based learning differences in both New York and Hawaii.

As a former Student Services Coordinator and holder of a Master of Education in Educational Administration from Grand Canyon University (2026), I bring deep knowledge of the IEP process, special education law, and how to navigate the system as a Long Island family. I'm not just a tutor. I'm a partner for your child's education.
