My passion for Nurturing Point comes from a lived experience of surviving human trafficking. I am thankful today for the opportunity to be an example as well as a voice for others who have yet to realize the power of their own voice. My love for others goes together with my love for teaching, consulting, and mentoring. I have had the privilege of reaching survivors of all backgrounds, battered by abuse, bondage and trafficking. I have earned credentials in teaching, consulting and mentoring. I have mentored many, children and adults, teaching life skills and consulted through varied opportunities. 

My passion is to use my own strengths and experiences to encourage others. I have had the opportunity to speak at several venues for the purpose of encouraging others to reach their potential through confidence. I have seen the determination of survivors and their ability to rise above circumstances. I expect to expound on this, gain connections and give back to our communities. I have received many honors for volunteer work and community involvement. My professional and lived experience has given me a unique skill set that has been utilized to provide personalized support to organizations seeking to empower survivors.
