Summary

Survivor, advocate, and changemaker with an M.A. in Social Justice and Human Rights, dedicated to breaking the cycles of gender-based violence and empowering women and girls to reclaim their voices and futures. My personal experience with gender-based violence informs my professional lens, allowing me to support others with authenticity, trauma-awareness, and unwavering purpose. I bring both lived experience and academic rigor to issues like domestic violence, reproductive justice, LGBTQIA+ rights, and racial and gender equity. I don't just believe in change—I've lived it, and I work every day to make it real for others. You can expect me to fight forwards, not fight back.
