Summary

I've worked with individuals with disabilities in several capacities for nearly a decade. I believe strongly that inclusion should be prominent in every aspect of the community. My dynamic work experience has taught me how to advocate for individuals with all ability levels and how to elevate an individual's abilities rather than focusing on a label.
