Tell us about your company.
We are a San Diego based non-profit, founded in 2003, offering vocational training services, whose mission is to improve the lives of those with autism.
What made you decide to choose this field or industry?
As mother to a child with disabilities, I am drawn to advocacy and allyship. I sought to utilize my previous experience in human resources, recruiting and client development to provide job readiness training to help improve the employment outlook for individuals on the spectrum.
What is the most interesting part of your business?
Working with amazing participants every day and making their employment aspirations become a reality.
What do you wish you knew starting out, or what would you have done differently?
I wish I knew more about the employment statistics for neurodivergent job seekers and started advocating/supporting NFAR's mission sooner.
What are you most proud of?
Hearing and seeing first-hand the positive impact NFAR has made in so many lives, San Diego families and our community.
Tell us something we would not know about you.
I am a boy mom x 3 and love the challenges, joy and chaos of it all!
