• My “accidental” professional career at KY-SPIN began ten years ago when I first discovered the organization. I am fiercely passionate about empowering youth to become the best versions of themselves as productive members of society. Equally, I am dedicated to preparing parents for their evolving roles in the lives of their adult children, ensuring families navigate the future with confidence and purpose.
• As an individual with a disability and the mother of an adult son with a disability, I understand the complexities of the transition into adulthood firsthand.

• I recently graduated with my Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis and have over two and a half years of experience working as a Registered Behavior Technician supporting children on the autism spectrum. I am also a mother of three, and my oldest child is autistic, which has deeply shaped both my personal and professional passion for this work. Through my lived experience and hands-on practice, I bring empathy, patience, and genuine care into everything I do. I am passionate about supporting children with disabilities and the families navigating these journeys, and I strive to be someone families can trust, feel comfortable with, and lean on for understanding and support.
