Summary

I am a 28-year-old Certified Recovery Mentor who has overcome more than seven years of challenges with addiction, criminal involvement, and mental health struggles. After achieving and maintaining three years of sobriety, I have dedicated myself to using my lived experience as a powerful tool to support others facing similar obstacles. I understand self-destruction and poor decision-making, but I also know the strength it takes to rebuild, recover, and create a better future. My journey has fueled my passion for mentoring, advocacy, and helping others succeed in their recovery.
