Founder/CEO/ Care Curators, Fairfield, CT- 8 months (Current- in transition)
Founded Care Curators to coordinate supportive therapies for children in response to families’ desire to
support their children’s mental health- particularly for children with medical special needs- as the process can
be prohibitively overwhelming and time consuming. I help families navigate finding and accessing specialists
that fit the family’s needs, availability, insurance, budget, & personality.
Through this, I created a community network promoting access to expressive/creative arts therapies and other
supportive therapies for all families, moving forward equitable and sustainable movements for creative
therapeutic services available to children outside of institutionalized settings. I am transitioning this referral
network and strategy into an employee benefits model, with the information to be acquired by leading
employee benefit groups.
