Student Spotlight
Ali H.
Ali living her best life
while at The ARC
Ali is such a light here at SoCo. Her bright personality and quick humor are two of the things that make her such a joy to be around. When Ali meets someone new, she loves to fill them in on her love for Taylor Swift. Ali says she is a big fan Taylor Swifts new album with her top song being “Fortnight” ft Post Malone. Alis love for life is not lost in the art she creates here at The ARC. If you wanna find an “Ali Original”, just look for the polka dots!

Program Instructor
Chelsea Denmark
Hi, I’m Chelsea! When I joined the workforce at 18 it was very apparent to me that I couldn’t go to a job every day to just make money. I had a looming feeling that I had to make a difference. When I moved to Texas in 2018, I could have never prepared myself for the immense love that I feel for the IDD community. I am committed to making a lasting impact on each of my students, as they have created a lasting impact on my life.
