Veronica Washington

Veronica is the founder of The PAUSE Initiative, a movement that empowers individuals with communication differences to celebrate their voices. Her son, Logan, is a person who stutters. She currently works in dementia research at Johns Hopkins University and has a long-standing passion for supporting vulnerable and neurodiverse populations. Guided by a deep commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, she hopes to create spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. In her free time, Veronica enjoys building relationships, listening to music, spending quality time with family and friends, reading books with unexpected twists, and taking walks by the water.
