Let my voice speak hope.
Let my work be light.
The Be the LIGHT Foundation was born out of a profound intersection of personal experience and professional expertise.
Founded by a mother and physician who navigated the complexities of the disability landscape long before building a platform to address them, the organization was established to ensure that no parent has to walk the challenging path of disability alone.
Who We Are
Mission
To educate, empower, and support families of children with disabilities through advocacy, training, and community engagement.
Vision
A world where every child with a disability and their family feels seen, supported, and equipped to thrive.
I walked this path as a mother long before I built it as a physician — and I am committed to making sure no parent ever has to walk it alone.
At the Be the LIGHT Foundation, we translate our mission into action through three core pillars of service. Each program is designed to move families and professionals from a place of uncertainty to one of confidence and community.
