Denzel Closs

Summer Intern

Denzel is a college student at Goodwin University, majoring in Human Services. Denzel is on the autism spectrum and works closely with the autism community as a role model/advocate. He works for a program in Berlin, CT called Autism Families Connecticut which helps people on the spectrum come out of their shells to interact with others who are just like them. He also works at TJ Maxx in Wethersfield, CT. In his free time, he loves writing poetry and has his own YouTube channel. He is excited to intern for the summer at the UCEDD so that he can continue to advocate for people with autism. Denzel loves watching movies, is a huge wrestling fan, loves collecting flags, and loves listening to his meditation app.
