MPF Community Spotlight – Xavier Pettis

January 11 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Join us for an inspiring event featuring young-adult Xavier Pettis, a dynamic self-advocate who is charting his course through higher education while pioneering innovation. Xavier seamlessly navigates the challenges of accessing accommodations in college, showcasing resilience and determination. At the heart of his journey is the creation and launch of “Stim Me Flex” – a groundbreaking 3D-printed fidget designed to enhance focus and relaxation.

Discover Xavier’s unique approach as he leverages his skills and abilities to not only overcome obstacles in his academic pursuits but also to contribute to the world of assistive technology. “Stim Me Flex” is not just a fidget; it’s a testament to Xavier’s ingenuity and commitment to making a positive impact.

During this event, Xavier will share his personal story, detailing the highs and lows of his educational journey, accessing accommodations in college, and the conceptualization and plan to create a tool for others energized by his own personal experiences. Gain insights into the intersection of education, accessibility, and young entrepreneurship, and be inspired by Xavier’s forward path.
