Before I ever led a social group or worked in a school, I was a sister — not even two years old yet. Growing up alongside my sibling taught me early that connection looks different for everyone. Communication isn’t always verbal, progress isn’t always linear, and every child deserves to feel understood.

That experience shaped the way I see children and ultimately led me to create inclusive social groups for different ages that bring together neurotypical and neurodivergent children. I believe growth happens best when children learn with one another, not separated from one another. When we create supportive spaces that value differences, empathy grows, confidence builds, and authentic friendships form. This work is more than a profession to me — it’s personal. It began with being a sister, and it continues every time a child feels seen, included, and empowered.
