Welcome to BeFriend ASD

With over 25 years of experience in special education, I’ve had the privilege of supporting students of all ages across a wide range of educational settings. In 2024, I earned my School Building Leadership certification—an achievement that inspired me to take the next step in my career and create something deeply meaningful.

For years, I’ve envisioned building a supportive community where youth feel safe to be themselves, build confidence, strengthen social and emotional skills, and grow into independent, self-assured young adults. Every young person deserves a space where they feel seen, valued, and empowered to discover their strengths, develop meaningful connections, and navigate life with resilience and purpose.

Bringing this vision to life is incredibly exciting, and I’m honored to begin this journey alongside you and your family.
