Karla Proaño M.Ed.

Hello and welcome! 

I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) educator and childhood development specialist with a background in educational neuropsychology with a passion for enhancing learning and development in students of all ages and over 20 years of experience in both Ecuador and the United States. I currently serve as a Clinical Supervisor, Early Intervention Specialist, and am pursuing a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Technology. 

My goal as a neuropsychologist in education is to empower children and families to reach their full potential and succeed in all aspects of their academic and personal lives. 

My mission is to advocate for inclusive, culturally responsive education that honors each child’s unique brain and potential. I believe in leadership that blends empathy, science, and innovation to create meaningful change in early childhood education, especially for bilingual and neurodiverse children. 

This portfolio is a reflection of my journey in the EdD program at NJCU. , the projects that inspire me, and my vision as an educational leader in a digital world.
