I have 10+ years working in the field of disability advocacy and special education in a variety of roles - from special education teacher in Portland Public Schools to Director of Advancement for a disability non-profit. I have worked with a wide range of individuals with disabilities, spanning age and disability type. I am especially passionate about helping people with disabilities expand their interests and connect to more community.
