Proof Over Promises
The Mission Behind the Milestones
Every accomplishment you see here started in chaos, long nights, rejection, and rebuilding from the ground up.
I don’t share these wins to impress you. I share them to show that discipline beats circumstance and consistency outlasts judgment.
Redemption isn’t a one-time event. It’s a lifestyle.
Degrees & Education:
- Bachelor’s in Psychology – Nova Southeastern University
- Master’s in Educational – Miami Regional University
These weren’t trophies, they were tools.
I earned them while raising a child with autism, rebuilding my name, and proving that education can transform identity.

Helping Solve the Mystery of Autism
One Child at a Time
The Coral Gables News-Tribune honored my work at The Carrie Brazer Center for Autism & Related Disabilities in 2007 because I developed new behavioral and educational methods which enabled children with autism to learn communication skills and achieve independence.
Through my work I established organized systems which united therapy with life skills and academic learning to support more than 250 students and adults in developing communication abilities and independence that specialists had deemed unattainable.
The program established itself as one of the first private educational models in South Florida which merged speech-generating technology with life-transition training for autism students while creating an inclusive learning environment.
The program focused on teaching children while simultaneously working to give them the power to succeed. The children we worked with demonstrated our progress in autism understanding through their individual achievements.
