Hi! I'm Liz!

   I am a Certified Neurodiversity Family Coach.  My pronouns are They/Them/Theirs.  My journey as a self-advocate began in in elementary school and I have been a successful self-advocate ever since.  Throughout these years, my advocacy has focused on gender diversity and autism.

As a graduate from Rutgers University with a BA in Music Theory, I taught children of all ages in public schools in positions including Math Teacher,  Special Education Aide, SAT Tutor, and Substitute Teacher.

 After my teaching career, I achieved multiple feats of self-advocacy and activism during a 5-year career as an Actuarial Analyst, including as the first author of an actuarial industry paper to list pronouns on their publication.

 For more than 20 years, I have put self-advocacy into action to succeed in new spaces.  Now, I strive to help adults and adolescents new to self-advocacy learn skills to get their footing.   Check out the CReW Group Class I developed called, "Self-Advocacy."  The groups are divided by age, so you always get to focus on exactly what is relevant to you!  I also welcome seasoned self-advocates, their families, and professionals to coaching as they sort out more complex situations and reinforce self-reliance. 

My goal is to help you improve the utility you get from your greatest resource: yourself. 

When not working, I'm often playing music, making art, watching a show, or enjoying the outdoors.
