TriumVitae Educational Consulting Founder

A Journey That’s Personal

I’m Dr. Jorge E. Navarro, and my understanding of the challenges of transitioning to adulthood is both personal and professional. As a first-generation college graduate from a rural, working-class, and immigrant family, I’ve faced the challenge of finding opportunity where there was little: balancing life in both the city and the country, and helping my own family bridge difficult transitions.

At 21, I became responsible for raising my two teenage brothers, guiding them through the same decisions and uncertainties so many families face. With patience and persistence, I helped one find a path in the military and the other become an accountant. These early experiences shaped my core belief: every young person, no matter their background or needs, deserves a path forward, and so do their families.

I’ve Lived the Struggle

Having lived and parented through the complexities of neurodiversity, I know firsthand how overwhelming these transitions can be. I’ve developed my own systems to improve executive function and supported my child in doing the same. I’ve seen what’s possible with the right mix of support, hope, and practical tools; and I know how hard it can be to find them.

Professional Expertise, Lived Experience

Over the last three decades, I’ve devoted my career to helping at-risk youth and students with learning differences prepare for life after high school. I hold a doctorate in School Improvement with a focus on special education, and my research has centered on students on the autism spectrum. As a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, Vocational Evaluator, and Educator, my experience within the systems in your transition to adulthood means I know how to help families access the resources they need, not just in theory, but in practice.

No Quick Fixes, Just Real Progress

I believe in a long-view approach: starting early, building skills step-by-step, and supporting both students and families every step of the way. I’ve worked in schools, community organizations, and workforce development, always with one goal in mind: helping young people become capable, independent adults; not through quick fixes, but through concerted, caring effort.

Here for Your Family’s Journey

As an educational consultant, I’m here to help your family navigate the complex road from high school to college, work, and independent living. I offer strengths-based, research-informed, and deeply compassionate guidance for students with a wide variety of needs and backgrounds.
