About Me
I am a physics student, self-taught learner, and founder whose work is grounded in resilience, lived experience, and service. My life has been shaped by childhood instability, homelessness, addiction in the home, abuse, profound loss and the long process of learning how to survive, heal, and build anyway. Rather than allowing those experiences to silence me, I have turned them into purpose.
I believe that people thrive when they are given safety, dignity, understanding, education, and a real chance to grow. That belief shapes everything I create.
My Story
I did not have a stable childhood. I was born into hardship, and my early life included instability, abuse, homelessness, addiction around me, and repeated loss. I learned young how to survive in environments where safety, trust, and support were not guaranteed.
I also learned how to learn in fragments. My education was interrupted many times, and much of what I know has been built through self-teaching, adaptation, and determination. That path has made my knowledge nontraditional, but it has also made it resilient.
Today, while pursuing my education and navigating cancer, I continue building from that same place of determination. My work is not only about what I have survived — it is about what I am creating because of it.
My Projects
Each of my projects comes from lived experience. They reflect the needs I have seen, carried, and often had to fight to meet for myself. Together, they form a larger vision for practical help, education, healing, and belonging.
Mama’s Web
A resource and community-building project focused on food, shelter, support, and connection.
The Great Library of Alex
An education and community project dedicated to access to knowledge, learning, and growth.
Not Today
A project centered on mental and emotional health, encouragement, and healing.
Matrana
A vision for the first international autistic society — a place for authentic communication, interaction, and belonging without forcing an allistic design.
TDQ
A project focused on education and STEAM, with an emphasis on skill-building and curiosity.
Why I Do This Work
I do this work because I know what it is like to need help and not have enough of it. I know what it means to grow up without enough safety, enough stability, enough understanding, or enough support. Those experiences did not make me smaller — they made me more determined to build something better.
My goal is to help create spaces where people are not judged by the worst things that have happened to them, but supported in becoming who they were meant to be.
