           Shelly Rakhshani- CEO/ Founder of NHAC

My name is Shelly. I have two amazing boys, Brock which is 10 and Landon whom is 7.  My oldest son is considered severe on the Autism Spectrum. NHAC is my son’s voice and if it wasn’t for him NHAC would not exist. I am a nursing graduate as well as a speaker for victims’ rights, I speak at high schools to young women on how to respect and honor their daily lives and live their best self. I was nominated and graduated from the Starfish program as well as a co-author of “Making a Difference One Star at a Time.”
