Hello

My Story

My connection to this work is both professional and personal. I am a survivor of human trafficking and domestic violence.

​

I know what it is to have your movements, your relationships, and your sense of what is possible decided by someone else. I also know what it takes to come back from that — time, safety, and people who refuse to look away.

​

That is part of why I became a nurse. Healthcare is one of the few places a person may pass through while they are still in danger, and often it is the only contact they have with the outside world. A clinician who has been trained to recognize the signs can change the entire course of someone's life. A clinician who hasn't may never know who was standing in front of them.

​

Human trafficking and domestic violence survive on silence and isolation. I am committed to bringing both into the light, not as statistics, but as something that happens to real people who deserve to be met with dignity rather than judgment.

​

I use my story, my training, and my platform to educate, support, and encourage others who are moving from survival to thriving.

​

Joining the Wings to Freedom Foundation is an extension of that commitment. Here, I have the privilege of walking alongside survivors directly, helping shape trauma-informed, survivor-centered programs, and making sure the people we serve have a voice in the services built for them. It is a role I carry with gratitude and purpose.

Beyond My Role

My vision is a community where survivors are recognized early, supported fully, and never asked to prove they are worth helping. I believe that when people are met with knowledge, compassion, and real resources, they can rise above circumstances that once held them back.

​

I am proud to serve alongside this foundation and to contribute to a world where survivors have the resources, respect, and opportunity they deserve.
