I'm passionate about

I am passionate about my commitment to service and activism aimed at addressing social inequality and justice. My work has allowed me the privilege of focusing my passion on serving survivors of domestic and sexual violence. I care deeply about the ability of everyone in a family (pets included) to live a life free from violence. I am intent on ensuring victim-centered, scientific approaches to responding to, investigating, and prosecuting crimes of sexual violence – from the hospital to the courtroom and beyond. And I am adamant that survivors of violence receive trauma-informed, compassionate care that contributes to the healing process.
