The BCI Mission and what it means to me
BCI’s mission to utilize technology to enhance access to resources in traditionally underserved communities is close to my heart. While the context has changed, at the core of my academic & professional life burns a consistent interest in the unique challenges experienced by individuals in marginalized communities and, more recently, in identifying effective strategies to help individuals overcome these challenges. This interest is absolutely personal. Throughout my life I have observed firsthand how factors like an individual’s income, the location of their home, their membership in certain demographic populations and/or social circles, and the public policies in effect in their communities can either increase or decrease their options when they are looking to take steps toward improving their health & quality of life. BCI gives individuals access to services that were previously inaccessible for some, and that is a mission I can stand behind. Hearing client success stories, particularly when the client had been unable to access ABA services prior working with BCI, is the most rewarding part of my work.
