Empowering the people who show up for students. Education is complex. Your support doesn't have to be.
Are you feeling overwhelmed?
Whether you're a parent trying to get your child the support they need, a school building a stronger mentor program, or a nonprofit designing educator pipelines — the work of supporting people inside educational systems is layered, nuanced, and deeply important.
That's where I come in.
Education is complicated. Navigating it doesn't have to be.
About Ashley
Hi, I'm Ashley! I've spent 18 years working in and around education — primarily in special education — and what I've learned is that the people closest to students are often the ones with the least amount of support.
Parents navigating IEPs shouldn't have to do it alone. New teachers deserve mentors who actually know how to guide them. And organizations building educator pipelines need more than good intentions — they need structure, strategy, and someone who has done it before.
I bring experience from the classroom, from school systems, from higher education, and from building and supporting teacher residency and mentoring programs.
When I'm not working, you can find me reading, watching sports, or chasing after my toddler.
Let’s Work Together
For Parents
You know your child. I know the system. Together, we can figure out how to get them what they need - whether that’s navigating a referral for special education services, understanding an IEP, reviewing documents, or knowing the right questions to ask.
Document Reviews
Not sure exactly what the documents are saying? I will review them and give you my professional opinion.
Getting Your Child Help
You know your child is struggling in school academically, socially or behaviorally but you don’t know what help they need or how to get it for them.
I worked with Ashley for many years. Her knowledge about special education and her relationships with parents were essential to our success. She learns about students on a personal level, then uses that information to inform decisions about what will be best for the child holistically. I have seen her work as a special education teacher, a coach, and a Special Education Administrator. She understands how schools systems work, special education as a whole, and families. She will always do what is best for children.
