Summary
Devoted professional in the medical field looking to further the advocacy of victims who have underwent trauma. As a trauma survivor myself, realizing the need for more advocates centering specifically around assault, sexual assault, and child sex crimes. I shared my story on the podcast Something Was Wrong in season 15, Episode 5 "Diana, The Devil In Disguise". Along with my medical background and the ability to navigate how to handle the trauma after nearly having your children become victims to sex trafficking crimes, I believe that this opportunity would be perfect for me to assist Broken Cycle Media along with Tiffany Reese in getting the information out to listeners about organizations that assist these victims.
