Summary
A half a decade professionally in the special needs and non-profit field, with an additional decade of volunteer work in the special needs community. A passion for building team dynamics that focus on working as one, with a penchant for directing operations and human resources to create a successful organization that embodies its vision, mission, and purpose. This passion comes from my personal experience as a brother to a sibling with special needs who has driven my vocational aspirations to create a workplace environment, no matter the field I am in, where all people are treated equally.
