From Standards to Success: Let's make sure your program checks every box - in every state.
With nearly two decades of experience navigating the complex intersection of licensure, accreditation, and state regulatory requirements, I help universities and organizations build and maintain compliance with confidence. Whether you're seeking program approval, managing accreditation, or navigating multi-state licensure requirements, I can help.
Licensure Research & Analysis
I conduct thorough legal research and regulatory analysis on educator and occupational licensure requirements across all 50 U.S. states and territories — including teacher, school support personnel, social work, and nursing licensure — with particular expertise in out-of-state applicant pathways and interstate mobility.
Program Approval & Accreditation Support
From self-studies to state program approval applications, I provide strategic guidance and hands-on support at every stage — including evidence collection, compliance narrative writing and editing, stakeholder preparation, and site visit coordination.
Multi-State Compliance Strategy
I help institutions understand and respond to evolving licensure and accreditation requirements across all U.S. jurisdictions, including analysis of pending legislation.
Compliance Database & Systems Development
I can design and implement licensure compliance tracking systems and databases to support institutional decision-making and reporting — including tools for tracking MoUs, program approval status, and regulatory changes.
