Bio

I work with children on the Autism spectrum finding creative solutions to help them learn and grow because I know there is always a way to progress. There is always a path forward even if you have to forge your own. My time spent in homelessness after escaping the cult my parents raised me in, taught me that by taking it one day at a time and reaching small goals everyday, anyone can find their way to success. My long term goals include becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and starting new programs utilizing science backed strategies like applied behavioral analysis for children on the Autism Spectrum in underserved countries.
