This work has always been personal for me. My mom worked in special education, so from a young age, I saw both the beauty and the challenges of supporting individuals with disabilities. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve dedicated my career to this field—walking alongside individuals with disabilities and others facing barriers as they pursue work, independence, and community inclusion.

While I’ve seen incredible successes, I’ve also witnessed the deep gaps in our systems: not enough resources, not enough truly good services, and far too many people being left behind. I knew we could do better—we had to do better.

That’s why I founded Opportune.
To break down barriers.
To challenge outdated systems.
And to create real, inclusive pathways for every person to thrive—not just survive.

At Opportune Group, we connect employers with untapped talent and empower individuals through employment, advocacy, and community-based support. We believe everyone deserves a chance to grow, contribute, and belong—and we’re working every day to make that the norm.
