I’m honored to announce that I will be heading to Frisco, Texas to speak at the National Space Society’s International Space Development Conference (ISDC) this summer to keynote on the topic “Disabled in Space: Accessibility Considerations on Space Settlements”. It's truly an honor to participate with visionaries and top personalities from NASA and newspace. The Society is doing incredible work by being dedicated to the creation of an all-encompassing spacefaring civilization. It’s my privilege to continue to advocate for the disability community, even on the final frontier. See you soon, Texas!

Proud to announce that Nate, aka The Awesome Teen, & I will be on a panel about the children of brain injury survivors at this year’s Rays of Hope Conference. I will be in a supporting role as he takes the lead on this appearance.

I will be participating in a listening session for individuals with disabilities & chronic conditions being held by Ability360 & The Arizona Department of Health Services where I’ll give feedback & my thoughts about how their health & wellness programs are meeting communities' needs, as well as plans for getting community members more involved in planning new programs & messages.
