I was diagnosed with ADHD in 5th grade, but I didn’t learn to manage it until I was nearly 20.

While I tried my hardest in school, each year led to new disappointments as I failed to meet deadlines and expectations. The situation felt hopeless, and both my parents and myself were left frustrated and tired.

When the same pattern started to reoccur in college, I knew I had to make a change. So, I leaned into the positive side of ADHD and hyper-focused on finding a support system that worked. I talked to experts and friends, researched, and through trial and error finally created a system that helped me cut through the noise and find success. Once I had a better understanding of myself, it was easier to find the tools I needed to be more organized, stay on schedule, and even open my own business

Today I love helping others get to the other side of their ADHD, too. At Focus Forward, we help children build a personal game plan so they can gain independence and take control of their lives - so you can just be mom.

I learned how to manage my ADHD and I want to help you do the same!
