Why I do what I do? - My favorite childhood memories were spent with my grandparents. It was from them I learned patience, compassion, empathy, and my work ethic. Growing up watching my grandma Marle care for children and adults with disabilities was a life lesson I'll always cherish. She taught my cousins and I basic sign language and exposed us to a world that is inclusive, diverse and accepting. These experiences have been my driving force to be an advocate for older adults and those with disabilities.

Why I do what I do? I eat, sleep, and breathe finding support services for children and adults with disabilities! My adolescent son, Hank, has significant challenges with daily living due to a catastrophic form of Epilepsy. My family and I know firsthand how exhausting it can be to navigate through the complicated processes of accessing resources that individuals with disabilities and their families are entitled to receive, such as SSI, SSDI, therapies, various Medicaid Waivers and IEPs. My personal and professional experience has allowed me to become successful in helping others overcome their challenges. It is my mission to support and guide you in obtaining and securing resources for individuals with disabilities, so that you can have peace of mind knowing that your child will have the necessary support network in place as they transition into their adult life.
