Identifying the Why.
Designing the How.
The Heart Behind the Work
Math Matters Consulting™ was not built in theory; it was built from 20 years of lived experience in classrooms, communities, and institutions where the mathematical needs of students with exceptionalities, particularly Black and Brown learners, were too often overlooked or misunderstood.
I am a mother, first-generation college graduate, and seasoned educator with over a decade of experience dedicated to teaching, mentoring, and preparing educators in higher education. I have trained future teachers in culturally sustaining and high-leverage practices, supported schools in navigating complex systems, and developed frameworks that connect research to real-world practice through the innovative use of technology. But at the core, I have always been someone who believes that math should be a gateway, not a gatekeeper.
This work is more than a profession; it is a calling. Supporting students, especially those who think and learn differently, is deeply personal to me. I built this consulting business because I know what happens when students are told (directly or indirectly) that they are not “good at math.” I also know what happens when a teacher is equipped with the right data, strategies, and support to change that story!
Math Matters Consulting™ brings together targeted instruction and virtual coaching to help families and educators do just that: Rewrite their Math Story. A story that centers on clarity, confidence, and the belief that every student, regardless of exceptionality, cultural background, or test score, can succeed in math.
This is not just what I do. It is who I am.
