Alie is passionate about empowering others to use their unique strengths and personality traits in the context of disability rights and advocacy. As someone who loves to learn new things herself, Alie believes each person is on an individual journey of learning, self-realization, and growth; Alie thoroughly enjoys coming alongside others as a supporter and encourager! She especially enjoys challenging societal perceptions of disability, and guiding others to the "table" where learning and growth can lead us to true inclusion and equity.
Alie is a proud woman with disabilities that include obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADHD, and other psychiatric disabilities.
Alie has a Bachelor's in Secondary English Education from Anderson University and a Master's in Social Work from Walden University. Her experience working in the field of education in varying capacities has helped to develop the professional strengths, knowledge, and passions that have bolstered her career in disability rights advocacy.
Outside of work, Alie enjoys writing music and poetry, watching scary movies, and hanging out with her husband, three children, and four cats. Alie loves witty puns and drinking overpriced lattes.
