Two active branches: Adaptive Sib Guide & Research Initiative

- Founded Adaptive Sib Movement to support and advocate for adaptive sibs (younger siblings of disabled people), coining the term and creating the first dedicated initiative for an overlooked identity
- Launched Adaptive Sib Guide (mental health/awareness branch) creating educational social media content exploring experiences at the intersection of disability and family dynamics
- Launched participatory research initiative gathering personal narratives from adaptive sibs and collaboratively developing research questions with the community, centering adaptive sib voices in defining the research agenda
- Design carousel content using Canva that centers marginalized voices and lived experiences through vulnerable, authentic storytelling
