Thank you to all my family, friends, professors, therapists and supporters for making my mission possible. I love sharing my passion for recreation, life, and the arts with individuals who need some assistance in unwrapping their beautiful gifts.

For the past eight years, I have been blessed to connect with amazing organizations and institutions that have given me valuable educational, volunteer, networking, and communication experiences; molding me to the person I am today. Here are a few of the main ones...

*Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey, North Brunswick Township, NJ
*Children's Specialized Hospital, New Brunswick and Toms River, NJ
*K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital (Jersey Shore University Medical Center), Neptune City, NJ
*Hospital at SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, NY
*Ocean’s Harbor House (youth shelter), Toms River, NJ
*Shore Rehabilitation Institute, Brick Township, NJ
*Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing Services, Eatontown, NJ (nurse Athalie)
*Hackensack Meridian Health, Hackensack, NJ

I'm blessed to have received a scholarship from the PeaceLove charity in Rhode Island to share an innovative expressive arts curriculum that helps bring peace of mind to my community. I am honored to be the first NJ CREATOR of this program. Visit www.peacelove.org for more information.
