I have served a total of 21 years in the education field as a teacher, counselor, and principal. Prior to my entry into the education field I worked as a mental health case manager and directed/managed a developmental disability agency. I have experience in both public and private overseas schools, including IB schools. I have worked cases involving wrongful death, sexual assaults, special education negligence, and counselor breach of duty. Additionally I have been an adjunct professor in psychology, and intercultural communications for international educators. I've pesented at education conferences focused on student supports and safeguarding. I've successfully developed expert witness reports for cases in several states. I am skilled at research and tying key information (including industry standards and state statutes) to my opinions. Lastly I enjoy this work.
