She attended the University of Cincinnati where she got her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. She works with individuals who have autism or other intellectual and developmental disabilities from all ages. She began working in this field during college, and does the same work in Florida.

This book is how she made sense of the unexplainable and intangible.view less
