Ella Newbern ’24Newbern highlights her student involvement and leadership in DNSO as her source of growth and preparedness to take on challenges.
“People often think that leaders are something that you have to be born naturally good at, but I have seen that you can be just as successful when you push yourself to grow into the role,” says Newbern.
Newbern wasn’t diagnosed with autism until after high school and, at the time, felt she didn’t have enough resources or support. She has since then found an accepting and supportive community in the world of disability that encouraged her to challenge herself and be more independent.
“Because of this, disability advocacy is a big passion of mine as I strive to give back to my community and help make sure others don’t feel as alone as I did once.”/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/n/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/n/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/n/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/n/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/n/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/n/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/n/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/t","protected":false},"author":82,"featured_media":77405,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"categories":[4556,4563,4552],"tags":[3760,3876,3198,4177,3878,3216,3879,4178,3880],"news_category":[],"class_list":["post-77400","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-career-development","category-engagement","category-featured","tag-accessibility","tag-advocacy","tag-career-development","tag-disability","tag-disabled","tag-diversity","tag-dnso","tag-ella-newbern","tag-neurodivergent"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"/wp-json/wp/v2/news/77400/n
