MEMBER BIO

My name is Casey Smith and I am a disability advocate for the IL Skills program at SAIL. I have a lot of experience working with at-risk families, mental health case managing, and teaching social-emotional learning skills in a school setting. I have a bachelor’s degree in human services from Walden University and would love to continue my education in the future. 

I was born and raised in Escanaba and spend most of my free time with my family and friends. I have two children that keep me busy with sports and ongoing activities. We love to go camping and travel as often as we can to experience new things.

I am excited to be a part of this agency and be able to help people that have all types of disabilities to live a happy, independent, and fulfilling life.

What Our Team Has To Say.

"I want to improve acceptance, community integration and employment opportunities for people in my community who have disabilities. They are individuals with strengths and challenges just like everyone else."
Kris Keranen
"As an intern at SAIL, I have been able to direct many people toward programs or organizations that may help people live more independently. Every time a goal is accomplished, the feeling of success is totally noticeable. Even with one client at a time, the community is noticing that this organization cares about our clients and the communities in which they serve."
Jennifer Webber
"Disability Network has allowed me to share ways to deal with social issues, given me new ideas about technology and other accommodations, helped me to share and release stress, and increased my self esteem."
