About beyond empowerEd™

We go beyond empowerment—building compliance capacity to elevate equity, inclusion, and outcomes.

Our Story

After more than a decade in special education classrooms and district leadership, we saw the same challenge repeatedly: districts striving to balance IEP compliance, equity, inclusion, and due process—often without adequate support and never enough time. We founded beyond empowerEd™ to change that.

Who We Are

beyond empowerEd™ is a special education consulting practice grounded in the belief that compliance and equity can—and should—coexist. We partner with schools and districts to make legal clarity, inclusive instruction, and improved outcomes achievable and sustainable.

🎓 Doctorate in Educational Leadership  •  📚 Master’s in Education  •  📜 California Preliminary Administrative Services Credential  •  🗂️ 5+ years as IEP Administrative Designee Leader
