EmpowerConnect Services began as a deeply personal mission. As an individual navigating the complex world of disability services for my own journey and life, I know of all the challenges that can take place and I truly saw it all firsthand of how overwhelming and isolating the system could be. From IEP meetings that felt like battles to regional center processes that lacked transparency, I realized families needed more than just information—they needed a guide, a voice, and a partner.

What started as informal support—helping friends understand their rights, decode paperwork, and prepare for meetings—quickly grew into a calling. The passion to empower others, combined with a purpose rooted in equity and inclusion, led to the birth of EmpowerConnect Services.

Built on lived experience, professional insight, and a fierce belief in possibility, the company was founded to bridge gaps, build confidence, and create community. . It’s not just a business its movement powered by purpose.
