Background & EXPERIENCE
My work as a Certified Life Care Planner is distinguished by more than two decades of experience in education, special education, and educational leadership, combined with doctoral-level training and real-world systems oversight. This background uniquely positions me to serve as both a life care planning professional and a credible expert witness, particularly in cases involving children, adolescents, and young adults with educational, behavioral, and developmental needs.
As a former principal, district director, and adjunct professor in special education, I bring an applied understanding of how services are designed, delivered, documented, and evaluated within public and private educational systems. This allows me to develop life care plans that are not only comprehensive, but also realistic, evidence-based, and aligned with how supports are actually implemented in schools and related service environments.
COMPLIANCE & ASSESSMENTS
My expertise in IEP development, functional behavior assessments, MTSS, and progress monitoring enables me to clearly articulate educational and behavioral needs in a manner that withstands legal scrutiny. I am proficient in explaining complex educational concepts, service delivery models, and future support needs in clear, accessible language for judges, juries, and attorneys, bridging the gap between educational practice and legal standards.
Having served in leadership roles responsible for compliance, program evaluation, and assessment at the district level, I understand the legal and regulatory frameworks governing special education and related services. This perspective strengthens my expert testimony by grounding opinions in established standards, data-driven decision-making, and accepted professional practices.
WITNESS COMPENTENCY
My Approach
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Dream it
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest.
Build it
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
