I was born in Illinois in the early eighties. I was premature and extremely small, but my loved ones quickly learned that I was mighty, determined and eager to experience life. I have lived in multiple states growing up, but Ohio is where I learned to accept my disability, Cerebral Palsy. I see it as a gift that allows me to help others by sharing my experiences. I have a BA in Film History from Wright State University and my Graduate degree in Community Counseling from University of Dayton. I currently consult and co-facilitate on DEI initiatives with nonprofit organizations, like NCCJ of Greater Dayton. I live with my husband and a bunch of sweet pets that keep me entertained when I’m not enjoying film and pop culture in my spare time!
