I have been passionate about serving individuals and families who are affected by disabilities throughout my life. I started volunteer work with my church's disability ministry as a teen and young adult. During college, I interned for a special needs organization and held a job working as an assistive technology specialist. Since graduation, I have been working as an employment specialist for individuals with disabilities. My heart is invested in providing direct care, support, and encouragement to families that I work with.

    Rachel was so kind and empathetic with our son. She wanted to know how she could best support and engage with him, and took the time to understand his needs even when he had trouble expressing them. We would definitely hire her again!
