As a parent of three children with disabilities and complex medical needs, I’ve spent years navigating systems, advocating for inclusive and family centered care, and supporting families facing similar challenges.  I hold a bachelor’s of science in Child Development from Baylor University and have served as a dedicated disability advocate, including work as a faculty advisor with Texas Parent to Parent and multiple pediatric hospital programs. My background blends lived experience and professional expertise to elevate family - centered, compassionate, and informed care.
