About Me

Welcome to Social Wisdom. My mission is to help children, families, and individuals thrive by developing a growth mindset, building self-esteem, and navigating the complex systems that impact their development.

True impact requires a blend of rigorous academic training, legal knowledge, and deep human empathy. I bring a robust multi-disciplinary background to our partnership, allowing me to look at your child's needs through educational, psychological, and legal lenses:

• Master of Science in Education (MSEd): My advanced degree in education gives me a master-level understanding of curriculum design, instructional strategies, and how school systems operate, allowing me to communicate effectively with school teams as a peer.

• Bachelor of Science in Psychology: With a foundational background in psychology, I approach every individual with a deep understanding of human behavior, child development, and the emotional dynamics of families.

• Special Education Law & Advocacy Series (SELAS): Completed through the University of San Diego School of Law, this intensive program equips me with advanced training in federal and state special education laws, enabling me to strategically protect your child's educational rights during IEP and 504 processes.

• Certified Autism Specialist (CAS): Credentialed through the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES), I possess validated expertise in supporting neurodivergent individuals, understanding behavioral frameworks, and implementing meaningful accommodations.

• Certified Peer Support Specialist: Grounded in a peer-led philosophy, I provide authentic mentorship and guidance, offering both professional expertise and real-world empathy to navigate life's transitions.

• Active Member of COPAA: Through the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates, I remain connected to a premier national network of special education professionals, ensuring our strategies align with current national best practices.

Whether you need a formal advocate at the school table, an academic mentor, or a supportive partner to help your family thrive in Ozaukee, Washington, or Sheboygan County, Social Wisdom is here to extend a helping hand.
