For more than 25 years, I have passionately dedicated my career to enriching the lives of individuals with special needs, including those with autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), and behavioral health challenges. Driven by a deep commitment to dignity, inclusion, and person-centered care, I have served in direct support, leadership, and operational roles that empower individuals to achieve greater independence and quality of life. My experience is rooted in advocacy, compassion, and service, with a proven ability to support families, develop teams, and create meaningful opportunities that help individuals thrive in their homes, communities, and beyond.
