expertise, in partnership with the United School for Autism.  Our project was to convert their old, worn technology room into a sustainable new learning space that recognized and respected their students unique learning styles and that would create an atmosphere of inspiration, innovation and collaboration.

We had a steep learning curve to understand the unique needs of the autistic students and the teachers.  I relied on the strengths of the others on my team to complement my own.  I learned so much from all of them and the experience:  Collaboration; Diving in and learning something new; Adapting to change; Asking for help; Listening and delivering;  The power of connection and friendship and passion for making a difference.  All this I pass on to my family, my employer, and my friends.  They all get a better version of me due to this experience.”
