Why are you interested in the topic you are presenting?
I have always been passionate about serving my local community, having worked in Public Libraries for many years. Over the years, I have worked for many programs helping children and families develop their basic and computer literacy skills. My recent interest in serving adults with intellectual disabilities has developed after researching the needs of the community and the lack of free and accessible learning opportunities available to them. I am passionate and dedicated to helping adults with intellectual disabilities learn new skills and develop their independence.

What does “fearless” mean to you?
To me, being fearless means not letting anything hold you back – whether it be making a tough decision, taking your life in a new direction or even having a disability. Experiencing fear makes us all human, but it should not stop us from doing what we want to do. I believe in being courageous and putting yourself into a situation that makes you afraid. If you fear speaking in public, take a deep breath and grab that mic. If you fear being heart broken, then fall in love. If you fear that don’t know something, encourage yourself to continue learning. Nothing should stop us from being who we want to be.
