She is able to work nationally to create bridges for gaps in the disability community and develop training tools and programs that will assist youth and young adults with disabilities to be included not only in their local community, but to the disability community at large. In this she assists with youth committees that work on conference planning and advocacy. Previously to this position she worked in a Center for Independent Living facilitating school and community-based programs to assist the transition process from youth to young adults. She has coordinated local, state, and national level events and trainings for people with disabilities to continue to grow the next generation of Independent Living.
