“I thoroughly enjoy the challenge of educating the public and raising awareness of autism in a compelling way. My goal is to afford the agency additional opportunities to share pertinent information about autism and services, dispel myths, heighten awareness and promote all of our initiatives. Ultimately, these endeavors will help to improve the lives of children and adults with autism.”
