I attribute my son as my primary motivation for doing what I do. My son was diagnosed with Autism when he was 8 despite the fact that I had numerous practitioners who turned us away since he was 2.
What are some projects you are currently working on?
I am currently promoting endometriosis awareness, a cause that has affected me but also has impacted 176 million others. This disease is one that often goes misdiagnosed and happens to be misunderstood even by doctors currently.
What are your goals for the short-term and long-term? what inspires you?
My short term goal is to pass my licensure. However, my long term goal is to establish my own Practice that assists and treats children who are developmentally and/ or intellectually delayed. This TRULY is what inspires me!!! Children on the spectrum are not puzzles that need to be figured out yet building blocks for a more inclusive and stronger community that needs advancement.
If you could change anything about your industry, what would it be?
The stereotypes of non-verbal kiddos not being able to communicate. Many times they just need someone who can tap into their worlds and teach them a more appropriate way to functionally communicate.
What do you plan to do once you cross the millionaire mark?
“A person with more money is still the same person, just a person with more means to be who they always were.” I plan on continuing to give of myself wholeheartedly. I’ll just be able to do it 10× fold.
