My Story​

​

School was never easy for me. I was diagnosed with an auditory processing disorder and likely ADHD in 5th grade. I discovered my passion for helping others as a snowboard instructor and, with the support of amazing professionals, graduated from college with a degree in education. 

​

While teaching middle school, I took a deep dive into executive function development. I tested and refined systems, routines, and tools to help me be the best teacher possible despite having neurological differences.

​

In 2020, I faced a life changing decision: ​

​

Return to the classroom as a teacher or take a leap into becoming an Educational Therapist and Executive Function coach. It was risky and uncertain, but I went for it—and I’ve never looked back.

A few years later, I co-founded UpSkill Specialists to fill a massive gap in executive function resources for neurodivergent adults. 

​

Today, I coach, train other coaches, advocate for neurodivergent adults, and create no-cost, evidence-based tools for neurodivergent professionals.

​

My mission is simple: empower neurodivergent adults to believe in, and build, the life they dream of.

Each week, I write a newsletter oriented to my mission. 

I can help you leap, like I did, toward a life of freedom.

I write about six topics to help you own your life.
