Joey Ramp-Adams has been an advocate and consultant for disability services with a focus on individuals with service dogs, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) since 2011. After sustaining 23 broken bones, a traumatic brain injury (TBI), and developing PTSD after an accident in 2006, she partnered with a service dog to rebuild her life. Her ability to connect with people post-trauma comes from her experience in developing her own management toolbox. Facing barriers and obstacles managing PTSD/TBI and with a service dog in science drove her to find and develop solutions that provide equal access and opportunities for service dog handlers in science. As a mentor, she provides assistance to people with psychiatric disabilities, learning disabilities, and those transitioning into academics. Her approach is non-judgmental and applies her shared experience with understanding and compassion. Her goal is to help individuals build life skills over time that will empower them to manage their lives independently and with confidence.
As a Neuroscientist and a problem-solver with years of experience, she is passionate about developing innovative solutions for equal access to education and the workplace with a focus on, but not limited to, science and research. She shares her passion by helping others and designing solutions that empower people to reach their potential and realize their abilities.
Through years of experience working directly with people with disabilities and service dogs in academic institutions, science fields, and in the workplace, Empower Ability Consulting, LLC can help design workable solutions that produce positive outcomes.
