This professional website is a testament to the life in advocacy and hard work I have contributed to over the last 18 years. Often the work is relianent of others, giants if you will and advocates who often are the silent voices behind amazing-power people. People like me. I am lucky to be able to have such amazing people and things in my life. My son, my husband who is an educator and advocate, my friends in advocacy at CEC, and International colleagues that impress me everyday, keep me energized and moving forward despite educational legislation, regulation and what otherwise could bring us down. My husband and I do creative projects when time allows and we hold the mission of equality and human justice close to our hearts!
I have a son Carver who has shown me how to love, laugh and live each day to its fullest!!!
