About me
I am a Speech-Language Pathologist with 26 years of experience in education—which means I’ve spent over two decades deciphering both data and first-grade storytelling (equally complex at times). For the past 18 years, I’ve worked in Bend - La Pine Schools, where I’ve mastered the art of juggling paperwork, problem-solving, and the occasional Diet Coke spill.
Since 2017, I’ve served as an SE Synergy District Support Specialist, helping Special Educators streamline their special education processes—because who doesn’t love making life a little easier? Additionally, I work as a Special Education Data Submitter, ensuring accurate and effective data management (aka translating numbers into something that makes sense before anyone panics).
I’m excited to be at the Pacific Northwest Synergy Users Conference to share insights, swap stories, and maybe even help make data a little less intimidating—no guarantees on the Diet Coke spills, though!
