Serving as Board Member at Temple Grandin School (TGS). TGS is a strength-based socio-academic independent school inspired by Dr. Temple Grandin, whose example reminds us that the world needs all kinds of minds. The students TGS serves are exceptional neurodivergent teens who come from a wide range of families and educational backgrounds but share the challenge of finding a community of belonging. TGS provides a safe environment where these capable students can begin to believe in themselves, learn and grow, and persist through their challenges to achieve their full potential.
