"Mallory brings subject matter expertise and an intangible joy with her audience picks up on-- even virtually. She speaks about ableism and discrimination in a way that propels her audience to action.
Mallory speaks to students candidly and kindly. She shares her own struggles and successes. In doing so, she normalizes the often-tumultuous path life takes us on before landing our “dream job” and debunks the “linear” route to success along the way. If you are thinking about welcoming Mallory to your classroom, place of employment, organization, or network, I highly suggest you take it because she is extraordinary." - Assistant Professor, Stonehill College "Mallory's honest, straightforward and charming way she shares her life experiences - both challenges and opportunities, fosters hope and enthusiasm. Mallory Cyr was Awesome!!!" -Executive Director- Family TIES of Nevada “Mallory has rare gifts - she is a natural teacher, presenter and change agent. With humor, leadership skills and interactive style, she connects with audiences no matter how small or large. She is one of those few speakers, people remember for a long time after an event." - Co- Director, Healthy & Ready to Work (HRTW) National Resource Center |
"Mallory’s personality, charm, wit, and wisdom shined through to our classroom. The class truly benefited from hearing about Mallory’s lived experience and gained an appreciation for how various systems—everything from transportation to the healthcare system—can significantly impact the lives of people with disabilities.
Engaging, thoughtful, funny, and hopeful is what I would describe Mallory as. It was a pleasure learning from her." - Boston University Teaching Assistant "It's so great to hear from someone who GETS IT!" -Youth Participant, Maine Transition Conference “Her excitement and passion for her work is so inspiring and really helped our youth and families become excited about advocacy and transition.” - Project Coordinator, Systems in Sync, Kansas Department of Health and Environment "Mallory possesses the unique ability to connect with her audience and communicate new information in a way the people will not only understand, but remember for a long time!" - Development Director, Next Step Fund, Cambridge, Mass. |
