Courtney
Courtney is a force. She is a breast cancer survivor, working mom of 4 kids, and champion for the rights of people with special needs. I have seen her in action at work in the financial consulting industry and at home and her positive energy lights up a room.
As the mother of a child with Down syndrome, she makes advocating for her daughter and others part of the fabric of her family. The whole family traveled to DC to speak to a representative on the importance of equal pay for people with disabilities. Ellie is a tremendous kid and you can follow her adventures at @downwithellie and see how focus on abilities not disabilities can change lives.
