My Story
When I was a girl...
..my father served time in federal prison. That experience changed our family forever. After his release, he found it difficult to get his life back because society presents so many barriers for those who have been impacted by the justice system. That’s why I have made it my mission to be an advocate for those impacted by the justice system by assisting those organizations that have recently started or desire to start a re-entry program.
