She is also the owner of Strategic Education Solutions, a company that specializes in curriculum development, research, and program evaluation.

Her work includes development of The Virtual Job Coach, an online career planning and job search tool; Seen and Heard: IDD Community, a sexual assault prevention and response video series; and a series of online courses designed to help people with IDD become paid peer support specialists.
