About Raven

Hi!

 

I'm Raven.

​

Ever since I can remember, I always imagined working with children and working in schools. This passion led me to earn my master's and specialist degree in school psychology.

 

In my six years working as a school psychologist, I became an expert on the psychology of education and how to navigate educational decisions for children. 

​

When my daughter turned, two years old, it became evident that she needed support through special education. I thought, as an expert in education, I knew exactly what to expect and how it worked. However, what I learned, is that sitting in hundreds of meetings for other children was vastly different than sitting in meetings advocating for my child. My ex-husband, a teacher, had to ask me a million times what was happening and what to expect. I felt overwhelmed and outsider to decisions for my own child. 

​

Then, a light bulb went off went off in my head. I know the language, the acronyms, the process, so I knew how to get the answers and build communication bridges. However, not everyone knows what is actually going on or how education works. Not even my ex-husband who was a teacher!

​

For this reason, I have become dedicated to helping parents navigate their child’s education. My collaborative approach focuses on empowering parents with knowledge and skills to become their child’s advocate. I believe that every child deserves a quality education, and I am here to help parents achieve that goal.
