Established by the Delaware Department of Education (DDOE) in partnership with CDS in the fall of 2023, the DE-MTSS TA merged the historical Adapting Curriculum & Classroom Environments for Student Success (ACCESS) and Delaware Positive Behavior Support (DE-PBS) initiatives to provide professional development and technical assistance to Delaware educators to support the academic and nonacademic development of all children through an integrated multi-tiered system of support.

She has developed and overseen professional learning on a range of education topics including Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), Behavior Intervention Planning, Inclusive practices, Universal Design for Learning, IEP development and Integration of mental health supports within MTSS.  She is also the co-director of the Special Education Administrative Leadership (SEAL) Program, the first program in Delaware designed to lead to certification as a special education administrator.  Prior to coming to CDS, she worked as a consultant for the Boston Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation where she assisted organizations throughout the United States to develop meaningful rehabilitation and recovery systems for individuals with psychiatric disabilities.
