"Eryn at Advocate to Educate helped with my son’s IEP. Her personal experience with dyslexia inspired me to get involved in the Special Needs community, and I've been with her ever since." Jen Roach
I'm Jen, and I am here to help.
I handle the daily operations at Advocate to Educate.
I am a military spouse and mom of two kids in college (I can’t believe it!). My journey with advocacy began with my own son, who was diagnosed with dyslexia. Navigating multiple school districts due to military moves led me to Advocate to Educate as a client, seeking better support and services for my son. After four years working with them, I joined the team as the office manager, handling scheduling, billing, and day-to-day tasks with parents, advocates, and school teams. I’m also working towards my Board Certification to become an Education Advocate.
