I have spent my career helping students and families navigate the education system. As a school counselor with NYC Public Schools and a psychology professor at the City University of New York (CUNY), I understand firsthand the challenges students face and what it takes to overcome them.
My approach combines practical expertise with genuine care. I know how to work within the system because I have been part of it for over two decades. When I advocate for your child or help them prepare for college, I bring real experience and a commitment to seeing them succeed.
Fluent in both English and Spanish, I work with families from all backgrounds, including international students from Europe and the UK. Every student deserves someone in their corner who understands the process and knows how to get results.
Reach out for a consultation to discuss your family's needs. I am here to help you navigate 504 plans, college applications, suspension appeals, and everything in between.
