Vice President:
Katie Strain

I am very excited to be the new vice president of A.N.G.E.L. Inc.  I think the mission statement is incredible and the group’s devotion to helping families is so inspiring. Helping others is something that has always been very important to me. Since middle school, I have been an active volunteer in several different types of organizations, all sharing the same goal of making a difference. My experience with autism began in high school. A family in my church posted a need for therapists for their newly diagnosed son. I received training in ABA therapy and became the youngest therapist on his team. I worked with that family for a little over a year and a half before I left home for college. Sophomore year, I applied for a job I saw advertised that was similar to the one I had in high school. I’ve now been working with that family for two years, and am currently employed by WEAP, the Wisconsin Early Autism Project. I also work for the Mind Matters Clinic, helping mainstream a young boy into his preschool class, by improving his language skills and giving him confidence in peer interactions. I’ve attended a handful of autism fundraisers and awareness events in Wisconsin, such as run/walks and the A.N.G.E.L. Harley Ride for Autism. I’ve also gone with fellow coworkers and families to the Capitol Step for Autism rallies, fighting for insurance coverage. These children and their families have touched my life so much that I am proud to give them and the entire autism community my time and dedication.
