Sharon is working with LCCDC to reach more community members who want to realize the freedom of business ownership.

    By working with the LCCDC, I aim to create a transformative impact by empowering young adults with autism to develop strong social connections and essential independence skills. My work will focus on providing access to meaningful opportunities for personal growth, fostering self-confidence, and encouraging active participation within their communities. Through this dedicated approach, I strive to help each individual unlock their full potential, build lasting relationships, and thrive in a life of independence and possibility.

  • I look forward to having by working with LCCDC is to play an active role in contributing to the overall development and growth of the community through dedicating time volunteering in community events, actively listening to community members’ needs, and advocating for those concerns.

  • “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” is a Quote I read. That pretty much expresses the way I feel about life. I feel that you sometimes live for others to feel good about yourself. We must sometimes pull each other up!
