About Me

I’m a communications leader, advocate, crisis response supervisor, and public policy communicator committed to redefining systems so every person has access to stability and dignity. My work lives where compassion meets strategy, and where people are supported in the moments that matter most.

My leadership spans 988 crisis services, anti-poverty campaigns, public policy engagement, community partnerships, and social-impact storytelling — all grounded in evidence, empathy, and measurable change.

I am also the founder and editorial director of Guiding Hand Publishing — a mission-driven independent publishing company producing children’s books, poetry, historical nonfiction, and advocacy works centered on resilience and justice.
