I am passionate about advocating for inclusion and empowering individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Through my experiences working with both children and adults with special needs, I have seen firsthand the incredible impact that support, opportunity, and community can have on a person’s confidence and quality of life. Being able to build meaningful relationships, encourage independence, and celebrate each individual’s unique strengths has been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey!

Special Children’s Charities reflects the values I care deeply about—creating spaces where everyone is welcomed, valued, and given the chance to thrive. Their mission to promote accomplishment, inclusion, and joy throughout all 77 Chicago neighborhoods resonates with my own commitment to supporting the special needs community. I am proud to contribute to an organization that is redefining possibilities and fostering a more inclusive Chicago, one step at a time.
