Speaking, Advocacy & Lived Experience Empowerment

Through powerful storytelling, evidence-based insights, and deep lived experience, I bring voice to the realities of trauma, mental health, and suicide Prevention and Loss issues that affect our communities every day.

As a speaker and advocate, I am committed to creating safe spaces where needed conversations can happen with honesty, empathy, and purpose. Whether I’m speaking at schools, community events, conferences, or policy forums, my message is grounded in resilience, hope, and actionable change.

I use my own journey to break stigma, empower others to speak their truth, and drive forward initiatives that prioritize healing, connection, and culturally competent support. My work is rooted in community, with a strong focus on those voices that deserve to be seen, heard, and protected.

  • Keynote speaking on trauma, mental health, and suicide prevention

Together, we can shift the narrative—from silence to courageous conversations, from isolation to connection and community.

Why Work With Me?

I've lived it. I've led through it. I know systems can do better.

My approach is grounded in lived experience and a deep commitment to change. I work on the front lines, along with our community, witnessing both the challenges and the strength that exist within it.

I bring more than professional knowledge—I bring heart, understanding, and a relentless drive to make things better.

As part of my Mission is to make suicide prevention, postvention, trauma support, and mental health not just services—but a core part of our community’s culture.
