Core value: Connecting the unconnected: “At my core I am a connector. I have always enjoyed introducing people I knew would hit it off because of shared interests, and I have a knack for identifying commonalities and places where individuals and organizations can come together.”

ESP Why: “My ESP why is WHY NOT?! I love that we are a place that challenges the norms around what society thinks that people with disabilities can do. I believe that we all have a right and responsibility to contribute to the communities in which we live, work & play, and ESP helps to facilitate that in ways that are inclusive, innovative, and fun!”
