Hi ACL friends,
My parents, twin sister, and I grew up in a small town in Colorado. I have certificates in Computer Applications, Paralegal Studies (with an emphasis on disability rights), and a certificate in Social Work from the State of Arizona.
After working in the social work field for six years in Arizona, I completed my Bachelor of Science in Human Services at the University of Phoenix. After moving back to Colorado, I went back to school to do a master's in nonprofit business at Regis University for career advancement. Initially, I worked as a nursery coordinator, and since November 2020, I have worked as a job coach supporting people with disabilities to write resumes that highlight their qualifications.
Since February 2021, I have been an advisor for SABE Boulder/Broomfield, and I get inspired by working with and watching people achieve their dreams. I've always had a heart for working with nonprofits and helping people with disabilities succeed in life no matter what their choices and challenges. I feel encouraged when I can see another human being empowered by the small difference I made in their lives.
I was born with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and use a power wheelchair for mobility. I always try to show people that my Disability is a gift from God to show the world that there are many ways to accomplish anything you want to; you just have to look outside the box to find it. Please don't judge a book by its cover.
My hobbies are creative writing, reading, riding horses, spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy singing with friends and speaking in public to help break down barriers for people with disabilities and older people.
My email is Bobbi9773@gmail.com, please feel free to ask me questions at any time.
If you are interested in SABE you can find a link to our meetings on the calendar on the ACL’s website.
Everyone is welcome to join us.
