I started Edvance Up
to ensure that underserved communities had access to highly quality education services that advance how learning is received and delivered.
We are a mission driven, asset-based education and leadership consulting agency that offers proven expertise, customized strategic planning, and viable sustainable solutions for organizations seeking to provide meaningful impact for the children, families, and communities they serve.
I help leaders, educators, parents, and community change-agents shape how they learn and lead through strategic planning, strengths-based coaching, professional development, and advocacy supports.
I have spent over 25 years working as an education leader across a variety of learning environments, including traditional, non-traditional, suburban, urban, rural, and military-based systems. My experience as a special education teacher, assistant principal, instructional specialist, English language coordinator, principal, and director has given me a deep understanding of the importance of creating environments that foster innovation and adaptability to meet the needs of today’s education spaces. I am well-versed in how to strengthen and uphold a commitment to inclusivity and social responsibility within organizations that serve children and families.
