For the last few years I have been a member of the board of an exciting organization called Yes She Can. Yes She Can, which is primarily based in Westchester County, focuses on helping young women on the autism spectrum obtain the skills and confidence for employment in the general community. These skills are developed through programs surrounding the production of American Girl dolls. My role on the Board, as a life and career coach for young adults on the autism spectrum, is to bring my experience to bear to help these young women overcome their obstacles and achieve their goals as active members of the working community.
