I started Laurel Learning in 2026 after 16 years in public education, with a clear goal: to help students close learning gaps, build confidence, and reach their full potential—and to support families in understanding how to navigate the school system so they can advocate effectively for their child.

I am a New York State certified teacher and school administrator with experience across multiple roles, including classroom teacher, Principal, Assistant Principal, Director, Special Education Administrator, and Committee on Special Education (CSE) Chairperson. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how schools operate and how decisions are made, especially when it comes to supporting students with diverse learning needs.

For many families, the school system can feel overwhelming. Terms like CSE, 504 Plans, Response to Intervention (RTI), and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) can be confusing and difficult to navigate. My role is to help you make sense of these systems in clear, practical ways—so you feel confident, informed, and empowered when advocating for your child.

While schools provide many supports, they don’t always fully address every child’s unique needs. That’s where we come in. Through targeted, individualized support, Laurel Learning helps bridge learning gaps, strengthen skills, and support students in a way that complements what they are receiving in school.

Although Laurel Learning is a new business, it is built on years of professional experience and a deep commitment to helping students and families succeed. It would be a privilege to partner with your family. Please complete our interest form—we look forward to speaking with you.
