Services for Schools & Districts

Crux Advocacy partners with schools to pinpoint the critical areas where targeted improvements can make the greatest difference. I support districts in aligning practices with their goals, creating proactive, evidence-based strategies, and strengthening systems that truly serve every learner. Drawing on 30+ years as a school psychologist, special education director, and assistant superintendent, I bring a perspective that bridges strategy and on-the-ground impact.
