My name is Jacob. I am 25 years old, a lover of animals, music and movies, and I have Down Syndrome. I graduated from Mohawk College in 2019 from the Community Integration through Cooperative Education program. I like to be creative and learned how to make candles, the result was starting my own business in 2021.
