Summary

Although my official job title of "Advocate' has been on paper for a short time, I have always considered this to be my job description. This has carried through my time as a volunteer, foster parent, and working with children and adults with disabilities and their families. I believe strongly in encouraging others to go beyond what they currently feel they can achieve.
