My Experience
My work brings together psychology, psychometric testing,
pediatric behavioral health, autism and ADHD support,
crisis-informed care, advocacy, and neurodiversity leadership.
A Multidisciplinary Foundation
It Started With Healthcare.
I began in healthcare before moving into psychology and
behavioral science. That foundation shaped the way I approach
people today: with attention to the whole person, not just a
diagnosis, test score, behavior, or label.
Why I Do This Work
Work With The Mind, Not Against It.
My goal is to help people live happy, successful, fulfilling lives
while understanding and embracing the way their minds work.
Neurodivergence does not have to be the end of your story.
When you learn how to work with your mind instead of constantly
fighting against it, you can build confidence, create strategies
that actually fit you, recognize your strengths, and do beautiful
things with your life.
I know how powerful the right support, understanding, resources,
and community can be. My role is to help people find that clarity,
better understand themselves, identify what support may help,
and unlock what is possible for them.
When it is meaningful to the person I am working with, I can also
thoughtfully make space for faith and spiritual values as part of
conversations around identity, purpose, resilience, and support.
I want people to leave my work feeling more hopeful, more capable,
and more equipped to build a life that works for who they actually are.
My Professional Journey
Experience That Built On Experience
The strongest parts of my background sit at the intersection
of psychology, pediatric care, neurodiversity, and advocacy.
Nationwide Children's Hospital
Pediatric Healthcare · Behavioral Health
I worked at Nationwide Children's Hospital as a Patient
Access Representative, supporting patients, families,
and the daily operations of a major pediatric healthcare system.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I also supported staffing needs
within the Behavioral Health Pavilion, including work around
pediatric behavioral-health and suicide-risk environments.
I was also recognized as Employee of the Month.

IEP, 504 & Educational Support
Accommodations · Student Support · Family Guidance
I understand how IEPs, Section 504 plans, accommodations,
student needs, and educational supports can intersect with
autism, ADHD, learning differences, and mental health.
I can help individuals and families better understand these
systems, prepare questions, identify possible supports,
and navigate next steps.

Common Areas of Support

find the right next step.

Executive-function guidance, accommodations, resources, and practical strategies.
Mental Health
Psychoeducation, support planning, resource navigation, and connection to appropriate care.
Learning & Behavioral Concerns

What I Do Today
I Help People Find Clarity, Support & Direction.
Today, I bring psychology, psychometric testing, behavioral health,
neurodiversity, educational support, advocacy, accessibility,
and lived experience together to help people better understand
themselves and identify practical next steps.
My work can include testing support, psychoeducation, resource
navigation, accommodations, preparation for professional
conversations, and helping individuals and families make sense
of complex information in a more human and accessible way.
Psychometric Testing
My work includes administering and scoring psychological and
neurodevelopmental assessments and organizing testing information
that can contribute to a broader clinical evaluation.
Autism & ADHD Guidance
Providing education, practical guidance, resources, and support
related to neurodivergence, accommodations, identity,
self-advocacy, communication, and understanding individual needs.
IEP & 504 Support
Helping individuals and families better understand IEPs,
Section 504 plans, accommodations, school supports, questions
to consider, and possible next steps.
Behavior & Crisis Guidance
Using my behavioral-health background and Professional Crisis
Management training to help people think through difficult
behaviors, safety concerns, escalation, and appropriate resources.

makes the most sense for them.

Advocacy, Education & Speaking
Using public speaking, media, advocacy, and education to make

Psychometric testing may inform a clinician's diagnostic decision;
final diagnostic determinations are made by the appropriately licensed
diagnosing professional.
Reach · Media · Community
This Work Has Grown Far Beyond One-On-One Support.
My work in neurodiversity, mental health, self-worth,
accessibility, and suicide prevention has led to opportunities
to educate and advocate across television, radio, public speaking,
media, and social platforms. I have built a community of more than
127,000 people across social media, and that reach
has grown from the same purpose that has guided my work from the
beginning: helping people feel more understood, informed,
supported, and less alone.

Why I Care So Deeply
This Is More Than My Work. It Is My Passion.
What makes my perspective different is that I also bring lived
experience to much of the work I do. I understand what it can feel
like to need answers, support, resources, understanding, community,
and people who genuinely see the person behind the diagnosis,
behavior, or concern.
Receiving the right support had a profound impact on my own life.
It helped me better understand myself, build confidence, create,
advocate, lead, and move forward with greater clarity. Today I am
the founder of NDVerse, I lead Eleable, I speak publicly, I advocate,
I create resources, and I use everything I have learned to help
other people find support that can change their lives too.
My work is deeply purpose-driven and rooted in love, inclusion,
compassion, dignity, and respect for the whole person. For people
who want faith to be part of the conversation, I can also draw from
my Christian faith as part of a supportive, person-centered approach.
What My Experience Taught Me
People Are More Than Symptoms, Scores & Diagnoses.
Healthcare taught me to care for the person.
Behavioral health taught me to look beyond behavior.
Psychology taught me to understand the mind.
Understanding educational supports has shown me how important
it is for information about a person's needs to translate into
practical accommodations, communication, and support in everyday life.
Autism-community leadership taught me the importance of
long-term resources and connection. Building NDVerse taught me
how essential it is to bring information, support, advocacy,
and community together.
Professional Experience + Human Understanding
My Work Has Always Centered Around People.
From nursing and pediatric healthcare to behavioral health,
crisis support, psychology, psychometry, autism and ADHD support,
educational accommodations and family guidance,
autism-community leadership, nonprofit leadership, and
neurodiversity advocacy, the common thread throughout my
experience has remained the same: understanding people more
deeply and helping them feel supported, informed, respected,
and seen.
