Disability Advocate. Public Speaker.
Youth Engagement Consultant. Videographer. Content Creator.
ABOUT ME:
Diagnosed with Charcot Marie Tooth disease at the age of seven, I was given the purpose of a lifetime - the challenge to teach others that adversity and fulfillment coexist. I had no idea the life and passions that would come out of my unique experiences with disability - my love for visual creation, public speaking, and youth empowerment being just a few of these things. My experience in advocating for youth voice in non-profit settings, throughout post secondary transition, the education system, and in many pockets of life where youth with disabilities advocate for change.
Join me as I discover the infinite power of empathy in a world full of uncertainty from the perspective of a 23 year old living with a rare disability.
