Crystal Gonzalez

Personal Agent

In my journey of over a decade in customer service, I discovered a profound calling rooted in advocacy—a calling ignited by the imperative to champion the voices of those I hold dear. This realization led me back to education, where I earned a dual associate degree on the path to nursing. However, it was my encounter with the field of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) that reshaped my trajectory entirely.

Despite lacking prior experience in IDD-related roles, I embraced the challenge of serving as a Residential Program Manager, overseeing homes for adults with intellectual disabilities. In this capacity, I unearthed a deep-seated passion and an intrinsic commitment to fostering autonomy and empowerment among individuals.

Transitioning to the role of a Personal Agent at ISN after 9 years of social work serving IDD individuals in a residential setting has been a heartfelt change—a change that has allowed me to cultivate new skills and flourish both personally and professionally. At ISN, I am privileged to continue pursuing my passion for empowering individuals with intellectual disabilities, guiding them towards resources, and aiding them in setting and achieving their goals as they strive for independence.

I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to be part of the ISN family and for the chance to continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of those I serve.

Mission Statement: “Empowering individuals with intellectual disabilities to find their voices, pursue autonomy, and thrive in their pursuit of independence.”
