About MeI am a passionate advocate, leader, and visionary dedicated to empowering families, caregivers, and individuals within the autism and special needs communities. Above all, I’m a proud Mom to an exceptional young man, who is 28, and on the autistic spectrum, and I’m “MiMi” to a precious 5yr old, MJ. These roles inspire me and foster an unwavering commitment to service, compassion, and community building.
I serve as a trusted Parent Advocate for autistic individuals, parents, and caregivers, providing guidance, resources, and support to help families navigate systems, access services, and build stronger futures for their loved ones. Her advocacy is deeply rooted in both lived experience and professional dedication.
I am the Founder and CEO of two impactful nonprofit organizations, Ausome Families, Inc., and NY Autism Moms, Corp. Through these organizations, I work tirelessly to create safe, supportive spaces where families can connect, learn, and thrive while promoting awareness, inclusion, and empowerment throughout the community.
In addition to my nonprofit leadership, I am a specialized travel agent focused on coordinating inclusive and accessible travel experiences for individuals with special needs and their families. I believe that every family deserves the opportunity to create meaningful memories through travel without barriers or limitations.
I also serve as the Vice President of Going Deeper Inc., an organization recently awarded a city contract to implement an innovative pilot initiative that we titled “A Blend of Services.” This program is designed to provide integrated, comprehensive support services that address the diverse and evolving needs of the communities it serves.
I’m driven by purpose, compassion, and vision. I will continue to build bridges between families, resources, and opportunities while advocating for equity, inclusion, and empowerment for all.
