I joined this mission with 16 years of experience as direct support to children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and psychiatry studies in collect. I was introduced to MPower Me through my 2 siblings with developmental disabilities. After developing the TechMentor program, which includes both a deliverable service for users, and a 3-step certification for professionals looking for innovative technology solutions, I now dedicate my work to educating communities about MPower Me, to building professional collaborators' capacity to support MyGuide users with inclusive technologies, and to influencing the direction of technological development.
