I BUILD INCLUSIVE ECOSYSTEMS THAT SCALE

I connect startups, Fortune 500s, and global partners to the $23 T Disability Market through strategies that blend business growth, accessibility, and belonging.

With 10+ years of experience as a Speech-Language Pathologist advising innovators, I’ve helped founders secure funding, scale teams, and design systems that create measurable impact:
• Founders secure $20 M + in funding
• Teams scale from 3 → 150 +
• Federally funded projects reach 100 % recruitment in under 2 months

My work spans four connected ecosystems: from healthcare to innovation, from mentorship to inclusive education- all centered on one purpose: to make belonging actionable.

THE FOUR ECOSYSTEMS

Each framework, product, and partnership I build lives inside one of these ecosystems, turning inclusion into innovation across industries and everyday life.


🩺 1. Health & Accessibility Innovation

Designing health experiences that feel as good as they function.
From hospitals to AI technologies, I help organizations create systems of care where accessibility equals excellence.

🎨 2. Inclusive Education & Family Learning

Where play becomes pedagogy and every moment becomes a chance to learn.
Through literacy tools, creative experiences, and inclusive gymnastics programs, I help families and educators bring connection into everyday learning.

💼 3. Leadership & Innovation in the $23T Disability Market

Advising founders and executives shaping the future of inclusive business.
Through The Resource Key™, I help organizations build investable, scalable, and socially responsible models for growth in the disability economy.

🎓 4. Mentorship & Career Pathways

Guiding emerging leaders, students, and professionals toward purpose and presence.
From mentoring 500+ speech-language professionals to helping founders find their authentic voice online, I build bridges between potential and impact.
