Hi! I'm Thea!
I am the proud Founder and Director at Camp Independence.
I have spent years taking neurodiverse teen travelers all over the world and supporting them to be more independent. I spent my collegiate summers and onward working at various sleep-away summer camps for special needs youth. Throughout college, I worked with special needs individuals in school and recreational settings. I was active in my community by volunteering with programs including Big Brothers Big Sisters and Special Olympics. Through the University of Georgia, I studied abroad in Ireland, where I worked in a school for children with autism. In May 2013, I earned my BS degree in Communications Sciences and Disorders from Armstrong Atlantic University. I continue to be an active member of organizations that advocate for our populations including CHADD and LDA.
I am also the Founder and Director of Camp On Tour, learn more about this social program here.
