FinalistBio
My life goal is to become a licensed psychologist specializing in autism and neurodiversity. I’m passionate about making assessments and mental health services more accessible, especially for women and adults who often go undiagnosed or misunderstood. After serving in the military and spending over a decade in special education, I founded a consulting firm to bridge the gap between schools, families, and clinical support. I bring lived experience, academic dedication, and a deep commitment to inclusion to everything I do. I believe my background in both education and psychology uniquely equips me to contribute meaningful change in the field and help others feel seen and understood.
