Outreach Program Manager

I come to CHR as a person with lived experience within the criminal justice system and chaotic substance use. This failing system is the exact reason why I center my time, both professionally and personally, around harm reduction.

Being a part of an organization that shares my values and desire for change, all while helping to support the very people within OUR community that the system continues to fail, is why harm reduction has my heart.

It truly is a privilege to be an advocate for change while empowering members of the community to identify what works for them.
