https://atherownpace.com/podcasts/at-her-own-pace/ Elena created At Her Own Pace in 2016 when she and her husband were comfortably settling into their new home with their then infant daughter, Hope. Elena's goal was to take everything she was learning about raising a child with Down syndrome and share this knowledge for free with loved ones who were interested in supporting them on their journey. Over time, as their family grew and their lives became richer and more complex, Elena felt a deep yearning to understand the point in time that their disability rights history story had begun, why they were facing the challenges they were, and how to dig out of some difficult situations they'd found themselves in, both medically and socially. So, she earned her Advanced Graduate Certificate in Disability Studies from CUNY and shortly thereafter became a Down Syndrome Ambassador for the National Down Syndrome Society. Currently, Elena freelance edits in the disability publishing space and continues to write, both on At Her Own Pace and as a contributor to the esteemed Bergen County Moms channels. A writer at heart, but an avid podcast listener herself, Elena has decided to voiceover some of her favorite posts that have withstood the test of time.
