Ariel A. Phoenix

Educational Rights Advocate


With over a decade of experience in public education, school districts, and family protective services, I specialize in advocating for students and families navigating complex educational and social systems. I bring a holistic, justice-centered approach to every case.

My Story

As a former Child Protective Services investigator and secondary English teacher, I’ve seen how overwhelming the educational system can be—especially for families navigating special education, Title I and VI services, or the protections afforded under IDEA.

 

I discovered my love for this work by helping friends advocate for their children, ensuring they received the support they need and are legally entitled to.

 

The satisfaction I feel knowing that families are well-informed and empowered drives my passion for this work.

EmpowerEd Consultations uses first-hand knowledge and experience within the public school system to advocate for families, helping them understand their rights and secure the resources their children deserve.
