Favorite GAASA Memory: “There are way too many to choose from, but one of my go-tos is always line dancing. Whether it was at the first ever GAASA Weekend at Princeton, or the GAASA Gala. My class got to witness a lot of firsts which I will always cherish.”

Favorite GAASA Memory: “Hmmm, my favorite GAASA memory was generally being able to see and support all my fellow elders and few members achieving some of the goals and dreams they worked so diligently to put together/curate/be a part of, their performances, awards, and so on. It is important that family shows up, especially when our families at home can't! What makes this even better is when our GAASA fam was present too.”

Current Position: “In my role at the McLean-Franciscan's Community Based Acute Treatment Program (residential unit), I serve as a member of a multidisciplinary clinical treatment team, providing therapeutic care and fostering an environment of hope for children, teens, and families.

By maintaining a safe and structured therapeutic milieu for up to 18 children, I work to meet both their physical and psychological needs across daily living, school, and group settings.”
