graduated from the University of Georgia's Grady College
ofJournalism and Mass Communication, and Pepperdine School of Law.
She currently works at Cowsert andAvery, LLP in Athens, Georgia,

Program's Boardof Directors.
Mandi is married to Jeff and they are the proud parents of Kalie,
Tyson and Sawyer. She was introduced to theworld of Sensory
Processing Disorder while running through the grocery store at a
full sprint with heryoungest son, Sawyer, tucked under her arm like
a football while screaming at the top of his lungs.
He was subsequently diagnosed with Asperger's with SPD and, as the
Grateful Dead might say: what a long,strange trip it's been.
Teaching Sawyer to comfort, calm and advocate for himself is one of
her greatestaccomplishments. In return, he has taught her more
about science than she ever dreamed of learning. Tellingthis part
of Sawyer's story to help others is a dream come true.
"The Littlest Inventor takes the stigma off Asperger’s syndrome by
advocating for inclusion in school and in public."
