Aleta Baird had a desire to help others even in her youth when it was her dream to be a nurse. Her path took her elsewhere, though her passion to aid others remained unchanged. Aleta earned her MA in Psychology at Duquesne University, and after some time in Pennsylvania returned to Central Ohio. Aleta specialized in behavioral health as a Counselor before entering the role of Program Manager and assisting individuals with a provider agency. After several years, Aleta returned once more to counseling, but recognized that there was a great need for individually tailored, custom care supports that benefited individuals with developmental disabilities which were not being met. It was due to this need that she began MiSpace, Inc., in 2009. Aleta actively provides instrumental supports and guidance to her team in order to fulfill this mission, being both CEO and Director of Operations for MiSpace, Inc. It is her belief that all individuals deserve to be treated with respect and dignity with the proper foundation in place to meet and exceed any and all life goals.
