About Me

I equip leaders and teams with practical tools, data‑driven processes, and the shared knowledge needed to build internal capacity and implement MTSS through a sustainable, coherent system.

​

My MTSS Beginning

Throughout my educational journey, I have been passionate about meeting student needs and empowering educators to achieve their full potential. My MTSS adventure began as principal of a 7th through12th grade secondary school involved in the University of Louisville Academic and Behavioral Response to Intervention (ABRI) Project. During this work, I was coached by Drs. Amy Lingo and Terrance Scott, whose leadership in PBIS and MTSS helped shape my understanding of an integrated framework supporting both academic and behavioral success. We were at the forefront of developing what is now known as MTSS.

Experience Working in K-12 and Across 170+ Districts

​

Since then, I have had the pleasure of consulting for the University of Louisville and the ABRI Project, teaching graduate students, and guiding capstone projects. My experience spans elementary, middle and high school settings, as well as district, regional, and state systems. I have supported over 170 districts, partnering with public, charter, private, urban, suburban, and rural schools across diverse settings. 

​

Why Schools and Districts Work with Me

​

What truly sets my consulting apart is the combination of my secondary school leadership experience with MTSS, my work across school, district, regional, and state systems, and my doctoral research on collective leadership practices that drive high-performing schools. I work with leadership teams to strengthen data-based decision-making, maximize collaboration, and build a sustainable system.

​

How I Help Leaders Strengthen MTSS 

​

I frequently support leadership teams in strengthening Tier 1, developing Tier 2 and Tier 3, improving teaming structures, and aligning an integrated MTSS implementation process.
