Educational Advocacy with Ashley

Young woman smiling indoors with bookshelves in background.

My name is Ashley. I am a dedicated clinical social worker and advocate committed to supporting the whole child and the family systems that surround them. With a background in pediatric behavioral health, school social work, Exceptional Student Education (ESE), and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), I am passionate about empowering students to access the services, support, and opportunities they deserve. As an individual who was fortunate enough to have supportive educators who selflessly advocated for me, I truly understand the value of guidance in the educational journey to ensure students know that they are capable, worthy, and heard.

I believe education is a human right. Every child deserves a fair, equitable, and meaningful educational experience that honors their strengths, meets their needs, and uplifts their potential. My role is to partner with families, navigate complex processes, and ensure the learner is afforded their right to self-determination in educational decisions. Together, we can create a path where your child feels supported, understood, and able to thrive.
