As the Family Engagement Coordinator for GEAR UP for LIFE, she is passionate about building meaningful connections between students, families, and the resources that support their educational and life journeys. With over a decade of experience as both a classroom teacher and a school counselor, she understands the challenges and opportunities families face in navigating the education system.

Before transitioning into education, she worked in the business sector in various roles that strengthened her foundation in customer service, communication, and problem-solving. Across every position she’s held, one constant has remained: her commitment to serving others and bridging gaps—whether they be academic, relational, or resource-based.

She believes in meeting people where they are and empowering them to move forward with confidence, support, and access to the tools they need to thrive.
