I am Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA-D) with 7 years of experience working with children and adults with developmental disabilities. Every day, I see firsthand the challenges that individuals with autism and their families face—whether it’s accessing therapy, finding inclusive educational opportunities, or simply feeling supported in their communities. My passion lies in creating meaningful change by advocating for resources, support, and acceptance for those who need it most.

This year, I’m switching things up and asking for a birthday gift that will make a real impact. Instead of presents, I’m raising funds to support children with autism—because why not celebrate by making the world a little brighter for these amazing kids? Did you know that 1 in 36 children is diagnosed with autism? Many of them face challenges when it comes to accessing therapy, education, and support. Your donation will help fund critical services like therapy sessions, specialized learning programs, and sensory-friendly spaces where kids can feel comfortable and included. If you're thinking about getting me something, I’d love for you to consider donating to this cause instead. It’s the best gift I could ask for, and it will help create a more inclusive, supportive world for children with autism! Thanks for being part of this special birthday and for helping me make a difference. You’re the best!
