About the Founder & CEO

Working as a Chemical Dependency Counseling Assistant and Life-Skills/Self-Sufficiency Mentor before beginning my journey into the criminal justice field as a Victim Advocate, I gained extensive experience in supporting victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, human trafficking, children affected by abuse/neglect, families of homicide victims, individuals with mental health/chemical dependency diagnoses, and individuals who have been impacted by trauma inside and outside the criminal justice system.

​

I have presented on an international and national level to professionals in the law enforcement, medical and mental health fields, victim advocates, prosecutors, and various community partners and individuals on best-practice approaches in trauma-informed care, strengthening multi-disciplinary teams, the importance of victim advocacy, sexual harassment, and many other tailored training and speaking engagements.

​

Through consultation, training, and technical assistance, individuals can work towards:

• Developing strategies and protocols for implementing trauma-informed practices and policies.

• Enhancing leadership and supervision styles, build strong, diverse, and inclusive teams, and develop techniques to sustain dedication and morale with employees.

• Strengthening engagement and support for youth, parents, and educators by identifying and strategically addressing existing barriers and influencing resiliency.
