Meet the Team
Jessica Willits
Jessica is the proudest mama to her boys, who keep her busier than ever. She’s a project manager by trade - a profession which comes in handy when wrangling these rascals. Jessica’s an assertive advocate for both of her neurodivergent babies and is constantly learning the ropes and challenging the system to get the best care and support for her family.
Jessica’s an entrepreneur passionate about partnering with other business owners who are gosh darn good people doing great things. She's a graduate of the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University, with some other Marketing goodies thrown in there too.
When not decoding EOBs, applying for speech therapy grants, or researching genetic tests, you’ll find Jessica fan-girling over all things Beyoncé , trying out a new sourdough recipe, or watching reality TV with her puppos.
Hannah Khalil
Hannah is a late-diagnosed autistic adult with ADHD (AuDHD, if you will). She’s a wife, a mother to two adorable kids, and a devoted Trekkie.
Diagnosed with ADHD as a teenager, Hannah didn’t receive her autism diagnosis until her 30s—when the sensory demands of parenting two small children pushed past her ability to mask. After a lifetime of feeling out of place and navigating a string of inaccurate diagnoses, everything finally clicked into place.
Before choosing to stay home with her children, Hannah worked in the legal system in her hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. A lifelong Star Trek fan, she often relates to Spock—straddling two worlds and feeling misunderstood in both.
When she’s not engaged with her little ones, spending time with loved ones, or rewatching her favorite Trek episodes, Hannah is dedicated to advocacy. She’s passionate about supporting autistic children and high-support-needs autistic adults while also helping neurotypical caregivers and providers gain deeper insight into the autistic experience. She hopes to serve as a bridge between the neurodivergent and neurotypical worlds, using her own journey to foster understanding and connection.
Sarah McCorkle
Sarah is a dedicated mother, passionate advocate, and co-owner of We Rock the Spectrum – Carmel. With a background in the veterinary field, she has always been committed to helping others. Her journey into advocacy and creating inclusive play spaces was inspired by her son, Korben, who is autistic, non-verbal, and has a rare genetic syndrome. Witnessing his love for climbing, jumping, and spinning, Sarah saw the need for a space where his energy and sensory needs could be embraced and celebrated, not judged.
Outside of her work at the gym, Sarah is a true sports fan—especially when it comes to the Kansas City Chiefs. On top of that, she loves cooking for her friends and family, hosting gatherings filled with delicious food and good company. Sarah is also an animal lover, caring for a variety of animals at home, including her buttonquail—an interesting, unique, and lovable addition to her animal family.
Sarah is driven to continue growing a community where neurodivergent children and their families feel seen, heard, and empowered. She hopes to create an environment where all children can thrive, no matter their abilities.
