Why I Do This Work
Navigating this system is not just professional for me—it is personal.
I am a Certified OPWDD Broker and a dedicated parent advocate with a deeply personal connection to the self-direction journey.
As a mother of two young adults with special needs—including my 22-year-old son who is on the autism spectrum—I understand firsthand the importance of having access to the right resources, support systems, and opportunities.
I have experienced the challenges, the questions, and the need for clear guidance. That lived experience fuels my passion to help other families gain control, build independence, and create meaningful, fulfilling lives for their loved ones.
