About me
My passion to guide others to a life of prosperity began over 25 years ago. As a developmental specialist and mother of an Autistic child, I saw the disparities that life offered and the difficulties families faced with integration. I realized my experience was not limited to me but much larger than myself. I have the ability to make a difference.
