| Ms. Wheelchair Massachusetts 2008 Kristen Parisi |
| Kristen Parisi of Dracut, Massachusetts Kristen Parisi, originally from central New York, moved to Massachusetts in 2005 for school and for her love for this beautiful state. She is currently a music education student at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and plans to teach music to special needs students. She is a very passionate and outgoing person, so nothing has ever gotten in her way of achieving her dreams. During her time as Ms. Wheelchair Massachusetts, Kristen hopes to be an inspiration to both those who have a disability and those who do not. She wants to be a mentor for people who are newly disabled, so they can see that people with disAbilities can do anything that anyone else can. Furthermore, Kristen wants to educate the general public that people with disAbilities are just like everyone else and break down some barriers that people may subconsciously have. She is looking forward to this experience and helping people and getting awareness in any way possible. Kristen competed in the National Ms. Wheelchair America Program July 21-27, 2008 in Rockville, Maryland and received the Todd Mullens Courage Award . |
