Research
At the heart of my work is a passion for empowering families and caregivers, particularly those raising children who are deaf, hard of hearing, visually impaired, or deafblind. My research explores the intersection of advocacy, leadership, grief, and family support, with a focus on developing inclusive education practices.
Through initiatives like special education leadership training and collaboration with other deafblind organizations, I strive to promote awareness, connection, and solutions for individuals impacted by disabilities. Join me on this journey as I share insights, tools, and strategies to help families navigate their unique paths with confidence and hope.
