Biography

I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Art, with an English minor, at the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater. I work as a disability advocate and peer mentor in the Waisman Center's LEND program. I am a female entrepreneur and artist who happens to have Cerebral Palsy. I see myself as an artist first and think of my disabilities as a side note; as something I need to handle so I can follow my passion for art, and hopefully become a well-known artist. I enjoy teaching art classes for people of all ages with different abilities.

Testimonials

What a treat to have Stasia share about her AAC journey with my graduate students! She was professional before, during, and after the presentation. Her personal anecdotes left a lasting impression on my class, and I'm hoping she's available again next year.
