Program Directors
Parsia Vazirnia
I’m currently a second year Medical Student at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). I first heard about ACEing Autism through another medical student who volunteered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. At that point, I was playing tennis weekly with a group of classmates and so I knew that ACEing Autism would be something that they would all be interested in being a part of. As a Los Angeles native, I reached out to the ACEing Autism headquarters and volunteered for one of their programs in Los Angeles. Upon my return, I launched the ACEing Autism program in Milwaukee alongside the Autism Society of Southeastern Wisconsin and the “Friends for Special Needs” student organization at MCW. I quickly assembled a team and found an amazing Co-Program Director Jeffrey Ai to help me lead.

I started my position as Program Director in December of 2022 and before that I served as a volunteer. I’ve played tennis since I was a little girl, and I am so excited to continue to work with this wonderful program.
