Jennifer Collins, a proud Project ASD alumna, received funding from the program to obtain both her Graduate Certificate and Master’s degree in Exceptional Student Education.
After completing her studies, Jennifer dedicated some of her time to teaching Pre-K students with ASD in Orange County Public Schools, a role she held until 2022. She now serves as an Autism Disorders Specialist with the UCF Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (CARD), where she supports part of Seminole County—covering 30 schools and working with over 1,000 families.
Jennifer reflects on her journey with gratitude:
“None of this would have been possible without the opportunities Project ASD gave to me.” ❤️
