Welcome! I’m glad you’re here

My Professional Background

My professional background is rooted in a commitment to child development, inclusive education, and supporting the diverse needs of children and families.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education Leadership – Child Development and maintain Wisconsin teaching licenses in:

• General Education: Grades 1–8

• Special Education: Grades K–12

My professional experience includes early childhood education through my work in Head Start, as well as providing specialized instruction and educational support to students with disabilities across elementary, middle, and high school settings.

Throughout my career, I have worked with students presenting a wide range of developmental, academic, behavioral, social-emotional, and executive functioning needs. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of individualized instruction, collaborative problem-solving, and the importance of developing meaningful, practical supports.

My approach emphasizes evidence-informed practices, individualized strategies, and collaboration with caregivers to promote understanding, build confidence, and support positive outcomes for children and families.

More Than an Educator — I’m a Parent, Too

While my professional background has given me valuable knowledge and experience, being a parent has shaped my perspective in ways that no classroom or textbook ever could.

I understand how overwhelming it can be to navigate evaluations, school supports, appointments, services, and the everyday challenges of raising children with unique needs.

I also understand how important it is to feel heard, respected, and included when making decisions about your child.

My experiences have strengthened my belief that caregivers should never feel like they have to figure everything out on their own.

At Sunflower Perspectives, I bring together my professional knowledge and personal understanding to help families feel informed, supported, and empowered.

My Mission

To empower caregivers through individualized education, practical tools, and compassionate support that honors each child’s unique strengths, needs, and perspective.

Because when caregivers feel supported, families have more opportunities to grow and thrive.

Let’s Grow Together 🌻

Whether you’re looking for guidance in understanding your child’s needs, preparing for educational meetings, or developing practical tools for everyday routines, Sunflower Perspectives is here to help.

I look forward to connecting with families and supporting them on their journeys.
