I have worked extensively with children, with and without disabilities as well as homeschooled my autistic son for three years. My personal and professional experiences have shaped my belief in the importance of providing a small, nurturing and inclusive learning environment for all children. With my leadership, Forward Leap is a welcoming and supportive community that empowers all children to reach their full potential.
