I’m honored to be running the New York City Marathon with Run for Autism, a cause that is deeply personal to me. Before my career in real estate, I worked one-on-one with children on the autism spectrum as a Registered Behavioral Technician. Many of the children I worked with were nonverbal, and I had the privilege of helping them build communication, motor skills, and confidence through movement and structured support. That experience changed me. It gave me a deep appreciation for the patience, resilience, and love within the autism community. Although my career has taken a different path, my heart has always stayed connected to those families. Running this marathon is my way of giving back. I am committed to raising funds to support autism research, advocacy, and resources for families, and I would be so grateful for your support in helping me reach my goal.
