This summer I am leading the\u00a0GiGi\u00a0Prep and in-person\u00a0Teen Tastic\u00a0programs with\u00a0my Mount Mary classmate, Zeki. I am excited to talk about self-advocacy, social communication,\u00a0and transitional skills while having fun! During my free time I enjoy playing with my dog, Cosmo,\u00a0waterskiing, cooking, cheering on Wisconsin sports teams, and spending time with my friends and family.
