Summary

My purpose is to provide knowledge on Autism and Neurodiversity to the community and assist families as needed with advocacy. As a mother of two specially abled children my purpose, as their voice, is to create a world where Autism and Neurodiversity has equal acceptance, inclusion, and education. I have a proven track record with success leading and growing the Foundation, ROCCOSJOURNEY, by implementing practical strategies and communication within communities. Once there is an understanding and awareness in an individual/community our purpose has reached it's target. I am prepared and ready for the opportunity to educate and achieve our Foundations goals. I stand firm being the voice for my children, all people so desperately wanting to be heard.
