Mission Statement

My mission is to empower special education students by providing exceptional data management services that ensure accuracy, accountability, and compliance. I am dedicated to supporting educators and administrators in creating the least restrictive learning environments where every child has an equal opportunity for success. Through meticulous data oversight, innovative solutions, and comprehensive training, I aim to enhance the educational outcomes for special education students while streamlining processes and maximizing resource efficiency.

Vision Statement

My vision is to be a leading advocate and resource in special education data management, driving systemic improvements that enable inclusive, equitable, and high-quality learning experiences for all students. I strive to be a catalyst for positive change by fostering collaboration, innovation, and a deep commitment to compliance and accuracy, ensuring that every special education student has the opportunity to reach their full potential in a supportive and well-equipped educational environment.

Its All About the Students

With over 15 years of dedicated experience in managing special education data, I have had the pleasure of overseeing the educational journeys of more than 15,000 special education students through their CALPADS settings. I have built a career around a deep passion for supporting special education students and fostering support for the least restrictive learning environment that ensures every child has an equal opportunity for success.

Driven by a commitment to accuracy and accountability, I am a data-driven professional and a self-proclaimed "compliance geek." Thriving on the meticulous details required to manage day-to-day system operations, ensuring that data is accurate and reflective of each student’s needs and progress. I specialize in managing the data submitted during reporting periods, including Fall1, EOY3, and EOY4, and I am well-versed in the intricacies of state certification of data as well as compliance monitoring improvement.

Beyond the numbers, I am dedicated to empowering service providers through training and resources, helping them navigate complex systems, and maintaining high compliance standards. I am always happy when I am creating training videos and developing resources that are both accessible and informative, supporting educators and administrators in their shared mission to provide the best possible outcomes for special education students.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for offering cost-saving solutions that not only streamline data management processes but also reduce the need for additional staffing. This efficiency ensures that districts can focus their resources where they matter most—on the students.

In every project, I bring a unique blend of ideas, passion, and an unwavering commitment to the success of special education students. Whether it’s through rigorous compliance monitoring, developing innovative solutions, or fostering an inclusive learning environment, I hope to continue to make a meaningful impact in the world of special education.
