Hello! My name is Laura Wynn and I’m very excited to be joining the Autism Society of Greater Akron! I work in special education with Kent City Schools. I am a mother to two boys, Julian (13) and August (9). Together, we enjoy traveling, hiking and riding bikes. I love to visit museums, attend concerts, try different foods (my favorite is still pizza!), kayak, photography, swimming, and spending time with my nieces and nephews. I’m looking forward to a year of wonderful programming with all of you!
