Kristin: I oversee the Mentor Match program at Partners for Youth with Disabilities. A strong proponent of mentoring, I have been involved with mentoring for over a decade, beginning as a volunteer mentor. I co-authored the manuscript, “Expanding Horizons: A Pilot Mentoring Program Linking College/Graduate Students and Teens with ASD,” which was published in the Journal of Clinical Pediatrics in 2015. I have presented regionally and nationally on the topics of mentoring and inclusion. I graduated magna cum laude from Connecticut College with a BA in Psychology and was a selected scholar for the Holleran Center’s Program in Community Action and Public Policy. I founded a club at Connecticut College that facilitated group mentoring for siblings of youth with disabilities. I hold a graduate certificate in Human Service Management and am currently pursuing a Master in Public Administration from Clark University. An avid football fan and redheaded free agent, I have played on team Brunette over the past four years for the RivAlz football league. RivAlz is a nationwide women’s flag-football league dedicated to advancing the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association.
