I have dedicated over 20 years of my career to education, focusing on inclusion and supporting young adults with disabilities as they transition into post-secondary life. From my early days as a teacher in New York City to my years as a school psychologist in the Issaquah School District, I have worked passionately to improve opportunities and outcomes for students. Prior to joining OLS, I was <a>the<\/a> Transition Specialist and a faculty member at Seattle University. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve long admired OLSBC as a leader in the field of inclusive post-secondary education. It\u2019s clear that this program sets a benchmark for excellence, and I am excited to build on that legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of work, I live with my family, including three teenagers (ages 18, 16, and 14), and enjoy playing soccer, running, paddle boarding, volunteering, and reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Education<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ed.D. in Educational Leadership, Gonzaga University<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>M.P.A., New York University<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>B.A. in Psychology and Business, Brown University<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<hr class=\"section-divider\">\n<\/section>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"department":[18],"profile_type":[5],"class_list":["post-4837","profile","type-profile","status-publish","hentry","department-leadership","profile_type-staff"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/ols\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/4837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/ols\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/ols\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/ols\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/4837\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5069,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/ols\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/4837\/revisions\/5069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/ols\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"department","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/ols\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/department?post=4837"},{"taxonomy":"profile_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/ols\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile_type?post=4837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
