From a young age I've volunteered in special education classrooms as a student helper, was employed at KidsPeace (crisis intake & residential clients), to volunteering with various organizations as an adult which gave me exposure on so many levels, to caring for an immediate family member with a severe TBI, and first-hand experience with my own concussion recovery. I have dedicated a portion of my professional life in the design community to bring awareness and education to various needs of how physical and mental differences experience and utilize a space, what items might be triggering and how to mitigate those triggers, etc. I bring a caring, understanding (or at a minimum an open and curious mind to want to learn more), and a gentle approach as much as possible as long as nobody is in harms way. I'm open to learning and being of assistance where I can. I'd be happy to set up a meeting if our scheduling meshes well and always up for asking and answering questions.
