Mission and Values
My mission is to champion #equityineducation by ensuring that all students, particularly those from historically marginalized and global majority communities, receive culturally responsive and linguistically affirming support. Guided by values of justice, inclusivity, and empowerment, I work to dismantle systemic barriers in assessment, instruction, and service delivery so that every learner has the opportunity to thrive.
About Me
I am a seasoned speech-language pathologist and public scholar with over 20 years of experience supporting multicultural and global majority populations in educational contexts. I bring extensive expertise in promoting awareness and best practices for professionals serving culturally and linguistically diverse communities. Drawing on my academic, personal, and professional lived experiences, I work as an educational consultant to advance equitable assessment, instruction, and service delivery for historically marginalized and global majority populations.
