Blake Kelmar
Where I Live: Norfolk
About Me:
I’m a Marshall University graduate who is on the autism spectrum and does not allow my disabilities to stop me or define me. My degree is in journalism, history, and psychology. I’m an advocate for criminal justice reform and aim to change the way people look at disabilities as a whole. I’m a family person who loves my family.
Hobbies & Interests:
I love to go to the beach, walk my dog, take photographs of landscapes, kayak, watch college football, do yoga, and go to car shows.
Mentor Skills
I’m level-headed: I am not judgmental based on people’s past, their disabilities, or religious beliefs. I can relate to others. I'm straight forward with people I’m also friendly and empathetic. I have patience for others, and I am a good listener. I have a passion for helping to make the world a better place.
Areas of Expertise
Having challenges and overcoming them.
Other
