As a former school staff member with training in victim advocacy and youth safety, I understand the pressures students face today, as well as the challenge teachers and staff face.
Over a decade ago, my life took an unexpected and very public turn that was covered in national news, forcing me to rebuild my future from the ground up.
That experience shaped my commitment to helping young people build resilience, trust their instincts, lead themselves and others better, and make confident, healthy choices.
Through engaging assemblies and practical workshops, students learn to manage stress, strengthen relationships, set boundaries, and advocate for themselves so they can move forward with clarity and confidence.
