Tori is a wife, mom, public special education teacher, private special education consultant, and the heart behind River Valley Education Solutions.

She has been married to her husband, Scott, for over a decade. Years ago, they felt called to foster care and spent three beautiful (and often wild!) years fostering 12 incredible children—three of whom they are now blessed to call their forever family. Marlee, Finley, and Bradley keep life full and busy with dance, basketball, and gymnastics. Their family attends New Life Church.

Professionally, Tori has been a special education teacher since 2014 and now supports families across the River Valley and Northwest Arkansas through advocacy, guidance, and individualized support. She is passionate about helping children succeed and empowering parents to confidently navigate the special education process.

Tori is also a proud member of the Junior League of Fort Smith and is deeply committed to serving her community both in and out of the classroom.
