My work in psychology and education is inspired by my youngest brother, Joshua.

Joshua loved life and was committed to achieving his potential, despite the challenges he sometimes faced. From a young age, I learned the power of a holistic, collaborative approach to supporting Joshua meet his potential, and as his sister, I was honoured to be a part of his team.

Joshua achieved what many thought he wouldn’t, with the support of loving and devoted parents, a team of caring professionals, assistive technology, and a “two thumbs up” attitude from Joshua.
