I'm Shea Belsky, the Chief Technology Officer of Mentra. We're on a mission to activate the potential of the 1 in 7 neurodivergent people worldwide. Mentra's goal is to address the 40% underemployment and unemployment rate of neurodivergent jobseekers. I was diagnosed with autism at a young age, and have been through the public school system, graduated from Cornell University, and navigated the workforce as a neurodivergent changemaker. I've worked at companies like Wayfair, HubSpot, Google, and IBM in the past as a Senior Software Engineer, Tech Lead, and ERG Lead. My personal "battlecry" is to create a world of accessibility, equity, and ultimately liberation - Which is to say, liberation to be authentic and genuine in a society that often looks down on neurodivergent people as being broken or different. To quote Eric Garcia in his stellar book - "We're Not Broken". In my stories, lived experiences, and expertise, I aim to provide actionable and meaningful insight into neurodiversity. I want to give people something they can relate to and identify with, while still teaching them something new and transforming their perspective on neurodiversity. Through my perspectives, history as a leader, manager, and peer to neurodivergent and neurotypical people, and my work in helping other organizations become neuroinclusive, I want to unlock a new way of approaching the idea of thinking differently - of being neurodistinct.

I have interviewed many people about their Disney fandom, and have also been featured as a guest on several podcasts regarding Disney.
