Alison co-created this program to connect traditional education with real-world vocational opportunities. With over 20 years as a Special Education Teacher and Program Specialist, she specializes in instructional design, transition planning, and individualized support for adults with diverse learning needs. Inspired by her high school peer mentoring, Alison later served as President of her college Friendship Club, fostering inclusive activities between typically developing students and adults with varying abilities. She holds a Master’s in Special Education, plus Autism Authorization and CLAD credentials. Outside teaching, Alison loves traveling, surfing, and hiking with her sixth- and fourth-grade children, cheering at their sports events, and giving back—she’s been a Girl Scout leader and volunteers with Sandpipers. She’s deeply grateful to help build this program and looks forward to sharing more joy with the community!

Roya is a motivated individual who enjoys learning new skills and contributing in meaningful ways. She participates in a vocational program where focusing on building independence, developing workplace skills, and working toward personal and professional goals is priority. She believe every individual brings unique strengths and abilities to the learning environment, where those strengths and abilities are recognized and encouraged. As our Administrator and head of finance, she is valued for being reliable, learning through hands-on experience, and working with others in a supportive environment. Being a proud mother of four incredible boys has taught her patience, resilience and unconditional love. They inspire Roya to be creative, compassionate, strong, and the reason I strive every day to build a life with love, compassion and purpose.
