Biography
I have cerebral palsy, but it doesn't stop me to live my best life. I love helping people finding their own AAC community. I am in the special education/assistive technology occupation and I just love it, because I can tell people what I did to get over this, but it is important to me to keep learning the newest tools and programs to help students and their family. Outside of my work, I am in a service organization Kiwanis to help serve the world. One thing that I love about kiwanis is they have Student Leadership Programs to teach students early as first grade until their last year of college about serving the community and being a leader in their community. Plus they have a club for adults with a disability, if they don't feel confident to join a kiwanis club.
