I'm Janki Patel, originally from New Jersey, where I grew up in a close-knit family. My passion for helping others led me to become an occupational therapist. During my master's program, I met my future business partner, Brittany Smith, and we bonded over our shared passion for working with children, especially those with autism.

After years of experience we decided to start Jump Ahead Pediatrics, a company dedicated to making a difference in children's lives. We built sensory clinics, secured school contracts ad assembled a dedicated team of professionals to support children's development.

I now live in New York with my supportive husband, who is Jump Ahead's biggest fan. Brittany and I continue to work hard to shape a brighter future for children, families, and healthcare professionals.
