As a passionate educator, I am dedicated to empowering students, families, and educators to improve students’ success across all domains.

As an experienced certified special educator in public and private institutions, I’ve worked with students of varying disabilities, including learning disabilities, Autism, OHI, anxiety, vision impairments, and twice exceptional.

I understand the importance of working proactively and collaboratively with stakeholders to create effective and sustainable support across settings to meet the academic and social-emotional needs of clients.

As a lifelong special educator, I’m dedicated to the success of all students. Over my 30-year career, I’ve acted as a liaison between students, families, school staff, and community support agencies at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.

I have vast experience in both comprehensive and alternative school settings, supporting students with specific learning disabilities, emotional disabilities, autism, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and those identified as twice exceptional. 

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about a unique set of challenges for schools, families, and students. As a mother, I’ve seen the impact both at home and at work.

My expertise in various parts of the educational field enables me to utilize proven and current data-driven strategies that yield comprehensive, structured plans of support customized to meet academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs.

Shari and Amy’s expertise, depth of knowledge, and professional collaboration know no bounds and will provide many more schools, families, and their students with the necessary language and skills to educate them.
