Ways we can work together
Every program I run starts from the same place: knowing what's already working, not just what needs fixing. Here's how that shows up across the services I offer.
Build & Launch
A 4-month, 1-on-1 recreation-based entrepreneurship and career exploration program for autistic and neurodivergent young adults ages 15 to 30. Strengths-based, structured, and built around one person at a time.
STEM Birthday Parties (Ages 4–10)
Hands-on, themed birthday celebrations that bring science and discovery into the party itself. Built using the same recreation-based approach behind everything I do. Playful, structured, and genuinely engaging for kids.
