Partnering with neurodivergent individuals to build confidence, independence and fulfilling lives, while studying Occupational Therapy.
“I find beauty in the neurodivergent community where people are unapologetically and completely their genuine selves. I admire the adolescents who I'm privileged to know and work with, for their extraordinary ability to shine in a society that misunderstands them. I originally believed I was coming into this role to guide the young men I work with, but as I reflect on my time, they have taught me how to better understand and accept myself. I believe that we are all born to live fulfilled lives regardless of how we process the world and display our character. Each individual is unique in a different but meaningful way. I will forever be grateful for this opportunity and will continue to advocate for neurodivergent equality.”
