As a mother to a son with autism, I have firsthand experience navigating the complexities of special needs planning. This personal journey has shaped my professional path and fueled my passion for helping families create secure and fulfilling futures for their loved ones with disabilities.

I hold a degree in Philosophy, which honed my critical thinking skills and deepened my appreciation for compassionate problem-solving. Over the course of my career, I’ve cultivated a unique blend of professional expertise, personal insight, and unwavering dedication to advocating for individuals with special needs and their families.

For more than 15 years, I worked as a licensed massage therapist, owning and operating my own clinic in Anchorage, Alaska. Consequently, this part of my professional life instilled in me the values of empathy, patience, and personalized care—qualities that have carried over into every facet of my work. Later, I transitioned to the legal field, earning a Paralegal Certificate from the University of Arizona. As a personal injury paralegal, I gained invaluable experience navigating complex legal systems and advocating for clients during challenging times.
