My name is Stephanie Fran, and I’m originally from Northern California! I recently graduated from UC Santa Cruz with degrees in Chemistry and Psychology. My eventual goal is to become an occupational therapist for neurodivergent children. Everything that I do is fueled by my younger brother who was diagnosed with a disability and my passion for autism acceptance and advocacy. As someone who is non-disabled, my goal is to become a more understanding ally and supporter for those of the AADI community, and furthermore to be part of the force that de-stigmatizes conversations surrounding disabilities and battling ableism. In my free time, you can find me watching a Korean drama, reading a good book, doing yoga, or cooking up a storm in my kitchen.
