Please help me support by making a contribution to my fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will advance Organization for Autism Research's great cause!

If you know me you know my job is one of the things in my life that brings me the most joy. Getting to work with and help increase the independence of young adults on the Autism Spectrum on a daily basis is an absolute privilege. Every day there are new things that make me laugh, give me a reason to celebrate, and make me feel fulfilled, and for that I am so grateful.

Please support not only me, but this organization that uses a science-based approach to helping people that I love so much and countless others.
