Youth Drug Prevention Advocate | Recovery Advocate | Air Force Veteran | Gold Star Widow

I am a passionate advocate for youth drug prevention and a dedicated recovery ambassador. As someone who has personally navigated the challenges of addiction, mental health struggles, and grief, I have found purpose in sharing my journey to inspire others. With over 7 years of recovery behind me, I am committed to helping young people avoid the pitfalls of substance abuse and empowering individuals to reclaim their lives from trauma.

As an Air Force veteran and Gold Star widow, I understand the sacrifices made by service members and their families. My story is not just about overcoming adversity; it’s about using that experience to bring hope to others who may be struggling.

My work in youth drug prevention is deeply informed by my personal experiences with substance abuse and recovery. Through my advocacy and outreach, I have connected with thousands of young people and their families, offering resources, support, and hope. I am also committed to raising awareness about mental health and grief, helping individuals to find healing and strength in the face of life's toughest challenges.

My mission is to empower individuals—especially youth—to make positive, healthy choices and build a life of purpose, even in the face of adversity. I believe in the power of storytelling to create change and break down the stigma surrounding addiction, mental health, and grief. My goal is to continue growing my platform, providing resources, and inspiring others to embrace recovery and resilience. I am committed to spreading hope and showing that with support, anyone can overcome life’s toughest battles.
