Presentations

I am passionate about sharing research, practical strategies, and collaborative approaches to supporting individuals with disabilities and mental health needs. My work focuses on bridging the gap between research and practice through conference presentations, invited lectures, and panel discussions. These opportunities allow me to connect with educators, clinicians, and researchers to foster meaningful dialogue.
