Before founding Design to Grow, I spent 15 years at the intersection of federal policy, higher education leadership, and human development, including directing career and life design programs at Johns Hopkins University. I've also walked alongside families through the special education process, from IEP meetings to private placement, and seen firsthand what happens when families don't understand their rights or their options.
I've sat in institutional leadership and at the family's side of the table. Design to Grow brings both perspectives together to help teams move through change and equip the people they serve to do the same.
Equip Your Team. Empower Those They Serve.
