Meet the Self-Advocates of Bethesda

Self Advocates Advisory Committee

Kya

I have 3 dogs who I adore. I also groom them because I’m learning to be a groomer. Making people smile is my number one priority. I love to do art like painting and drawing.

Yoshi

I currently work at Superstore in Chilliwack as a price checker. I am in a supported independent living program which is allowing me to grow and use my self advocate rights and freedoms.

Amber

I live with my roommate who is also my friend. I enjoy walking, spending time with my family, drawing, watching movies, and learning life skills with my support worker.

Kevin

I've been married to Meredith for almost 11 years. I have had the pleasure of being the self-advocate representative on the board of directors. I love radio broadcasting and I also enjoy being a mentor for kids with disabilities.

Sandra

I like being part of the self-advocates group because I learn how to be an advocate for others as well as myself. I enjoy listening to music and spending time with my friends and family. I enjoy spending time with my LIFE coach building my confidence.

Meredith

I've been married to Kevin for almost 11 years. I am a big advocate for people with diverse abilities. I am passionate about worship and intercession. I am also a mentor for kids with disabilities.
