Anything is Possible wit
VR Counselors
By Talan TyminskiSince she founded her company in in 2002, designer,
humanitarian and successful entrepreneur, CEO Kendra
Scott, whose global company bears her namesake, has
operated the business based on her core values-family,
fashion and philanthropy. Yet for Nick Hentschel, an
Austin- based employee, the company means so much more.
For Nick, the modern office space and yellow-gold type font
also signals stability, a concept that was foreign to him before
joining the Kendra family.
Nick was diagnosed with autism when he was thirty-seven,
a late diagnosis that helped provide context to why, despite
desperately wanting to work, he bounced between jobs aftergraduating college. Since entering the workforce, Nick had a
sense of waiting to be fired from any position he held which
left him jumping between offices and, at times, stressed.
Adding to this stress was that due to his disabilities, Nick
cannot drive, which can make finding and keeping a full-time
position in Austin near impossible regardless of a disability.
In 2018, Nick's mom, worried about her son, shared
a heartfelt plea on Facebook with other parents of
children living with autism to see if anyone was aware of
resources to help Nick find stable employment. Thanks
to his mother's note, Nick met Jennifer Hines. Jennifer is
a Board Certified and Licensed Behavior Analyst and av91Mfr-i
