Discover the Best Education with MOSAIC Alliance - with Your Trusted Consultant

Angelica Ramirez is an educational consultant, researcher, and former district-level special education leader with over 25 years of experience spanning educational leadership, special education systems, multilingual education, and policy-informed practice. She has presented nationally and statewide through the National Business Institute (NBI), Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), and Michigan Association for Bilingual Education (MABE), and has designed and delivered impactful professional learning series as both an educator and administrator.

Angelica serves in multiple professional leadership and advisory capacities, reflecting her commitment to policy, research, and community-centered educational practice. She served on the CEC Policy Steering Committee in 2023 and 2024 and as Co-Chair in 2025, contributing to national conversations on equity, research, and special education policy. At the state and community levels, she has served as a member of Project LAUNCH Detroit and BRIDGES at Samaritas, supporting initiatives focused on early childhood wellness, families, refugees, and survivors of trauma.

Angelica’s professional experience spans the full continuum of educational practice and leadership. She has served as a Headstart paraprofessional, bilingual ESL tutor, special education teacher, migrant program director, public and charter school principal, and central office administrator. This progression informs her ability to understand how policy decisions translate into classroom practice, how systems function under pressure, and where breakdowns most often occur across roles and departments. 

Angelica’s professional perspective is informed not only by leadership and research experience, but by lived experience navigating educational systems from multiple vantage points. As a former migrant student learning English, she experienced firsthand how access, advocacy, and informed support shape opportunity. As a parent of neurodivergent children, she has also navigated special education and mental health systems as a caregiver and advocate. These experiences sharpen her ability to identify gaps between policy and practice and to design guidance that is both technically sound and responsive to real-world complexity.

As the Founder and CEO of MOSAIC Alliance (Multicultural Organization Seeking Amity, Inclusion, and Collaboration), Angelica leads work focused on strengthening education systems through clarity, collaboration, and informed decision-making. Through policy-informed consulting, compliance-based guidance, and strategic professional learning, her work supports equitable education systems and helps organizations translate complexity into meaningful, sustainable impact for multilingual learners, students with disabilities, and the communities that serve them.
