In the past 48 years, she has dedicated her life to learning, leading, and progressing in education. She is currently the president of Luann Purcell, LLC, where she consults and is a strategic analyst for educational and associational organizations. Her tag sums up her current professional philosophy: Learning, Leading and Progressing.

In her position, she is currently consulting and advising administrators on best practices for leadership and development of quality programs for students with disabilities, advocating at the governmental level to assure appropriate legislation to facilitate the development and maintenance of quality programs for students with disabilities; and speaking on leadership, legislative/policy updates, attitude adjustment, the passion in compassion, and other current education issues.
