Our story
Jonah & The Whale Consulting was born from personal experience. As a young mother, I navigated a school system that often felt overwhelming and unprepared to support my child, who faced significant behavioral challenges. Suspensions occurred without meaningful intervention or a plan for his success.
I learned to advocate out of necessity. I studied the laws, procedures, rights, and strategies that schools weren’t explaining. I learned to speak up and push for solutions that protected my child’s dignity. That journey taught me that no parent should walk this path alone. My goal is to be the advocate I once needed.
