I am the Founder and Director of Connect for Autism, an Allied Health Assistant, a children's author, and, above all, the proud mother of an incredible 9-year-old autistic daughter.
For me, autism is not just a profession—it's my lived experience. As a parent, I understand the sleepless nights, the endless questions, the advocacy, the celebrations of every milestone, and the deep desire to give our children every opportunity to thrive. As an Allied Health Assistant working with children and families since 2020, I have witnessed the strength of parents and the difference that practical support, knowledge, and compassion can make.
I founded Connect for Autism with one clear purpose: to empower parents with the confidence, tools, and support they need to become their child's strongest advocate and greatest source of encouragement.
I believe that parents should never have to navigate this journey feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure of where to turn. Through education, family-centred resources, therapeutic play materials, children's literature, and a supportive community, my mission is to bridge the gap between professional knowledge and real-life parenting.
Every child deserves to be understood, valued, and given the opportunity to flourish—and every parent deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered along the way.
At Connect for Autism, we are building more than a community. We are creating a place of hope, understanding, and connection, where families can grow stronger together.
