My journey in education and advocacy      has enriched my life in ways that could never be verbalized with mere words.

All about me

I am a wife and mother, a passionate advocate for social justice, and a lifelong champion for the rights of individuals with disabilities. My journey reflects both personal and professional experiences, shaped by my roles as a special education teacher, university professor, and award-winning media and radio journalist focused on elevating the voices and stories of the disability community. I am also a children’s book author, committed to sharing stories that reflect the strength, resilience, and beauty of diverse lives.

Beyond the professional realm

Beyond my professional work, I am a homesteader at heart. I enjoy making my own soaps and lotions, growing fruits and vegetables, and embracing a lifestyle rooted in creativity and sustainability. I love to read and express myself through crafting and art. At my core, I value connection, purpose, and using my voice to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others.

My unique approach to impact

I believe in building communities that support and empower all persons. My diverse background in education, journalism, and advocacy, combined with my personal commitment to social justice, allows me to approach challenges with a unique perspective. I aim to inspire persons with disabilites to feel empowered and hopeful, recognizing the strength in diverse voices and the potential for collective action.
