About Me
Foster Care & Adoption
My heart for foster care and adoption was instilled by my parents. They shared stories of the many children in our home over their twenty years as foster parents. I am blessed to be adopted into my family from infant foster care. As my husband and I began to start our own family opening our home to foster care and adoption felt like the path to follow. We journeyed into classes, home studies, and interviews.
December 19, 2000 we entered into the broken and beautiful as we welcomed two little ones into our home. Together we journeyed farther into the unknown of developmental pediatricians, sensory processing, IEPs, adaptive preschool, therapeutic playgroups, and more. I had a basic understanding of the special education process by working in early childhood education but I was overwhelmed! Thankfully I had a Mother in-law who knew the right people and a church family that loved us well.
I love our family. Every smile and tear has had a purpose. I love our adventures. Our journey keeps going and growing. I would love to hear about your journey and support you along your way.
Special Education
I have a passion for serving ALL families. I started my career teaching preschool in NJ. My first job in Arizona was in a public developmental preschool. I continued as a paraprofessional moving into a high needs classroom and self contained autism classroom.
I taught resource special education after graduation from Grand Canyon University. I am currently a special education achievement advisor. I'm married to a special education teacher; and together we serve in disability ministry. I have led workshops throughout Arizona at area churches and children's ministry conferences on topics such as autism, positive behavior, and inclusion.

Free Consultation
Do you need someone to listen? My first meeting at the IEP table was overwhelming. Honestly, as a foster parent I did not know my place. I didn't know what all the acronyms meant or what to bring to a meeting. Can you relate? Let's set up 30 minutes together so you can share your top 3 concerns.
