About: 

I joined Special Kids Connect in September 2025 as the Community Programs Coordinator. I am passionate about serving families and creating an inclusive, welcoming space within our community. The different projects I work on bring me great joy, as I get to witness growth and connection among our kids and volunteers.

As someone with family members who have special needs, this work is very close to my heart. My personal experiences allow me to approach families with empathy, understanding, and a strong desire to support them.

After working in the medical field for the past five years, I am now pursuing my education to become a teacher. Working at Special Kids Connect continues to strengthen my commitment to working with children, which has always been a dream of mine.


What I like best about working at Special Kids Connect:

What I love most about working at Special Kids Connect is that we all share the same goal: empowering every family who comes to us. I am proud to be part of an organization that genuinely cares about supporting all individuals. I also love our team! I truly believe that each of us brings something unique and valuable to the organization.


Fun fact:

I love party planning and decorating!
