Meet Your Advocate
The IEP Queen™ behind the mission.

It started with my son, a binder full of paperwork, and a school system that didn’t see him.

I didn’t ask to become an advocate. Like so many parents, I was forced into the fight — decoding legal jargon, chasing unanswered emails, and holding back tears in meetings where my child was treated like a case number.

What began as survival turned into purpose.

Today, I’m the founder of The IEP Files™, a parent-led consulting service built for families navigating the special education system. I blend lived experience, professional strategy, and real-world tools to help you advocate for your child — with confidence, clarity, and receipts.

💙 My Promise

You shouldn’t have to break the bank to fight for your child. I’m here to help you cut through the chaos, protect your peace, and take action — on your terms.

You don’t have to be perfect.
You just have to keep showing up.
And I’ll be right here, walking with you — every step of the way.

FAQ: Ask the Queen

You’ve got questions. I’ve got receipts.

  • The 1:1 is laser-focused on your exact situation. The program teaches you the whole system so you can advocate like a boss every time.

  • Yes — email directly for availability and pricing.

  • Currently, no. But digital tools are affordable and the cohort is designed to pack huge value in 4 weeks.

  • That’s exactly what I’m here for. Book a 1:1 Clarity Session. We’ll assess where you are, what’s missing, and what your next step needs to be — no fluff, no shame, just strategy.

  • Nope. I serve families nationwide — everything from IDEA to 504s applies across the U.S. I customize my support to your local policies where needed.

  • No — I’m a trained, COPAA non-attorney advocate and SPED parent who’s walked through the fire myself. I don’t give legal advice. I give you power, clarity, and options — and help you show up like you belong at the table.

  • I can’t promise outcomes — but I can give you receipts, strategies, and language that have helped hundreds of parents shift the room. And I’ll show up with the same energy I bring for my own son.
