Amanda Sopel

Regional Coordinator — Northern

Compassionate, Dedicated, Honest

I became connected with AutismBC when our family began our journey of discovering our own neurodivergence. Shortly after, I got involved with the organization as an AutismBC Goes Volunteer Community Event Coordinator because I desired to help create opportunities for community and social connection for autistic individuals and families.

As a disability and inclusion advocate, I lend my time to efforts that focus on these areas at local and provincial levels. My own intersectional perspective enhances my understanding of diverse experiences, and I recognize the importance of amplifying the voices of minorities within these communities to ensure their unique perspectives are acknowledged and valued.
