CEO & Founder

My name is Nicole Kelliehan, the CEO & founder of the Beautiful Minds Foundation, Ronnie & Friends INC and I had a life-changing experience when my son was diagnosed with Autism at the age of two. During that period, the information available in my community regarding Autism was limited. As a result, I faced challenges in seeking advice and support from others. I spent numerous hours at the library, attending seminars and researching online to gain knowledge and understanding. The experience was devastating, as I felt helpless and unaware of how to support my son.

To mitigate the challenges that parents of autistic children face, I established Beautiful Minds Foundation, Ronnie & Friends, INC. The foundation aims to provide continuous support, education, awareness, and acceptance of autism and improve the lives of individuals with autism and their families. The foundation plans to offer free workshops, seminars, events, and resources to achieve these goals. Through this initiative, the Beautiful Minds Foundation, Ronnie & Friends INC seeks to empower parents and caregivers of autistic children and create a community that fosters inclusivity and support for individuals with autism.
