Assistant Clinic Director
Merlin Day Academy Employee Since 2025

My Story

With over 20 years of experience in the field of Special Education—most recently serving as a Principal of a Therapeutic Day School in Joliet—I come to this role with a deep passion for supporting students with special needs and their families.

My journey in education has been shaped by a profound belief that every child deserves to be seen for their potential, not just their challenges. Early in my career, I had the privilege of working with students with developmental disabilities, and it was in those first classrooms that I felt my true calling—to create compassionate, inclusive, and empowering learning environments for students who require specialized support.

At Merlin Day Academy, I have found a community that shares this commitment. Therapeutic day schools like ours are uniquely positioned to meet students where they are and celebrate every breakthrough, no matter how small. Each moment of connection, every step forward, is a powerful victory—and I am thrilled to be part of a team that honors this every day.

As the Assistant Clinic Director, my mission is to work alongside our talented staff to foster a supportive and enriching environment where all students can thrive. I am also here to support you—our dedicated parents and guardians. I know firsthand how important collaboration and communication are, and I want you to know that my door is always open. Whether you have questions, concerns, or just want to share about your child’s journey, I am here to listen and partner with you every step of the way.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve this incredible community. I look forward to getting to know you and your children, and to celebrating the many successes ahead.
