Nancy M. Cappello, Ph.D.


Nancy M. Cappello, Ph.D. led an illustrious career as a Public School Teacher, Building and Central Office Administrator, State Department of Education Consultant and Chief, and an Adjunct Lecturer at the University of Connecticut. Her advocacy, on behalf of students with disabilities, afforded her many opportunities for local, state and national advocacy efforts, conducting presentations across the country in addition to due process mediation sessions between families and school district personnel. She has relied on these skills when diagnosed with advanced stage breast cancer which catapulted her to an unpaved and bumpy road less traveled - patient health care advocacy and non profit development.
