I thrive on being an advocate for people with disabilities, and being a voice for the community when they may feel unheard, marginalized and pushed to the sideline. I do so by building professional relationships, raising awareness, event planning/fundraising, motivational speaking, and radio announcing. I also produce FUNclusion event, which features performers with and without disabilities, an all-inclusive fashion show along with more fun for the entire family- dissolving barriers while having fun. This has helped me gain a platform in the community as an advocate for the people regardless of their background, and expand my passion for radio/hosting and being the MC of your next event!
