Edie Jo (EE-dee-JOH) Goodwin (GUUD-win). She/Her.

I am a freelance multimedia producer and a peer mentor specializing in visual and audible storytelling that gives voice to neurodivergent creators and those who make positive choices about their mental health. I am a first-generation TRIO college student at Portland Community College. I am taking multimedia classes intending to acquire a certificate in Multimedia along with an AAS in Video Production and Emerging Media. I plan to graduate in June 2025. I have been a resident of Portland since 2022. I identify as neurodivergent, female, in my late 40s, wife, and mother of three neurodivergent boys ages 14, 13, and 10. I am owned by two cats, Blackie, and Sadie, a leopard gecko named Lizzie, and some fish. I have a passion for photography since I was 10. I have experienced some challenging circumstances that have impacted my mental health. I have made these experiences my motivation to advocate for myself and others.
