I started my career with ambition and dedication, but like so many, I was blindsided by life’s unpredictability. After losing my job suddenly and without cause, I found myself unhoused, struggling to understand how everything I worked for could slip away in an instant. As a woman in a male-dominated industry, I had already been underestimated and undermined countless times, but nothing prepared me for the weight of being dismissed so completely.

In the midst of my professional battles, I navigated abusive relationships that left scars I’m still working to heal. I became a single mother, a role that brought both immense joy and profound challenges, often with little support. Through it all, I learned the true meaning of resilience— how to rise from the lowest points when it seems impossible, and how to build something meaningful from brokenness.

The experiences I’ve endured have shaped who I am today. They fueled my desire to create a nonprofit that addresses the root causes of poverty, inequality, and injustice. My mission is simple: to provide people with the tools, resources, and support they need to overcome adversity and build a future they deserve. I know what it’s like to feel overlooked and cast aside, and I will fight every day to ensure others never have to face that alone.
