Jermia Fricks

As a full-time client advocate at a domestic violence shelter and a full-time dental assistant student, my mission is to serve with compassion, integrity, and resilience—creating safe, empowering spaces for individuals navigating trauma, while also investing in my own growth through education. I am committed to honoring the dignity and humanity of every survivor I support, meeting each person where they are with empathy, advocacy, and a trauma-informed approach. Balancing these dual roles requires strength, discipline, and purpose—and I choose to walk this path with the belief that healing and progress are possible, both for the individuals I support and for myself.
