I earned my special education teaching certification while working as paraeducator in the Kent School District. Overall, I have over 10 years of classroom experience and 30 years and counting of personal experience with neurodivergency. I started Life Skills Advocate, LLC in 2019 because I wanted to create the type of support I wish I had when I was a teenager struggling to find my path in life. Alongside our team of dedicated coaches, I feel very grateful to be able to support some amazing people.
