I’m Bella – a New York-born, Midwest-raised, and Portland-based educator and advocate for neurodivergent individuals.
My career began in special education, and over the years, I’ve expanded my work to focus on 1-on-1 reading interventions and coaching schools on data-driven instruction that benefits every student. I’m thrilled to be able to now team up with teens and young adults through ADHD coaching so that together we can find solutions that meet their individual needs.
I’m passionate about helping people and building confidence through authentic, supportive relationships. Whether I’m working with students, teachers, or families, I approach each challenge with empathy and a commitment to real solutions. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive, and I’m dedicated to providing the tools and support needed to make that happen.
