I have been a person served by Lanterman since I was fourteen years old. My advocacy journey began in high school. I advocated in jr high to build a ramp to the auditorium stage so I could sing in choir
This was at Eagle Rock Jr/Sr highschool
I served as a student representative for protection and advocacy in my sophomore year of high school.
During my senior year of high school, I applied to and was accepted into the governor's committee of people with disabilities. I went to Sacramento for a week to participate in this group
