With a unique perspective shaped by my own learning disabilities, including ADHD, I bring a wealth of professional expertise in education and health policy, grant review, as well as research, evaluation, and treatment of children with speech, language, and reading disorders. My passion lies in advocating for those who are not able to do so for themselves, leveraging my diverse background – both personally and professionally – to make a meaningful impact in the field of special education and child development.
