What are you involved in?

I like reading, studying, learning , playing video games, experiencing new things, getting to know people and writing. I live in Fontana, Wisconisn. It's a small village in Southeastern Wisconsin.

I only became a self advocate a few years back, but I'm loving it. I work closely with the Waukesha based organization ACAP, run by some of the best people I know. I work with an inclusive theater troupe, the ACAP players, run by Patricia Chones and Mark Cage. Luckily, (or unluckily, they might say) for them, my cerebral palsy only affects my legs and arms, so my mouth is unmatched. I enjoy writing and have co-written a couple scripts, and I'm also working on a superhero novel, Nightfire. I love traveling and meeting new people. I have a wondeful family at home, with two older brothers, and even though they bother me sometimes, they've taught me a lot.

Why are you involved in KASA?

I joined KASA so I could see what it was like to be a national advocate, and to learn how to control my mouth. Once I finish high school, I'd like to study the Islamic relgion at the Zaytuna Institute, and then head to Duke to study law. I believe KASA will be a great experience for me, and will help me make a difference in many lives.
