Hello! I’m Priscilla!

I earned my MA in Inclusive Special Education and Ph.D. in School Psychology from the University of Arizona (Go Wildcats!). I have trained and worked in special education and psychology across various settings, with schools being my favorite environment. My work broadly focuses on psychoeducational evaluations, school leadership consultations, tiered systems consultations and audits, professional development, and comprehensive student support. I also engage extensively in research and data analysis. Originally from the US, I have lived in multiple countries including Mexico, Germany, Bahrain, Japan, India, and the UAE.

I take great pride in understanding learners and am frequently called upon to review evaluations in complex cases. I have extensive experience with evaluations involving autism, dyslexia, ADHD, giftedness, and twice exceptionalities. Helping schools develop inclusive, efficient, and data-driven student support systems is both my passion and the topic of my dissertation.

The whole child is at the heart of all I do. Neuroscience increasingly supports this necessity for learning, which is why wellbeing, social-emotional learning (SEL), and mental health—including suicide prevention and postvention planning—are vital in schools. I develop programs tailored to each school’s unique context and am not afraid to address challenging topics such as consent and healthy relationships lessons for all students, including those with severe disabilities. I also conduct ongoing qualitative research with LGBTQIA+ Third Culture Kids (TCKs) in international schools, using their feedback to help schools create more inclusive mental health and SEL programs.

I speak English.
