Biography
People in society have ignored me and written me off throughout my life. Others who have viewed me as less have already predetermined my future. I have taken charge of my life . My overall life goal is to let people know they are wonderfully made, loved, and have a purpose. All lives matter! I want to ensure everyone is given the same chance and opportunity to live their best life. I'm passionate about people with disabilities having real lives, jobs, genuine relationships, and making real decisions. I work to advocate for all people's human and civil rights.
