Most of my experience comes from student-led projects and school communities. I’ve helped grow engagement through social media, events, and my club, Curriculum Collaborators. A lot of it was honestly just understanding what people actually enjoy and connect with instead of forcing content out.

I think the biggest mistake brands make is assuming they already understand neurodiverse communities without actually listening to them. I’d focus on making the brand feel clear and genuine. That also means involving neurodiverse people in feedback and conversations directly, because people can usually tell when representation is just being used as marketing instead of something genuinely considered

I don’t really listen to podcasts much, honestly, I’m more into reading. I especially like books that explore deeper human experiences and perspectives, like The In-Between by Hadley Vlahos, which is about a hospice nurse’s experiences and the emotional stories she witnessed through her patients.
