My passion for harm reduction stems from lived-experiences that have given me a deep understanding of the challenges faced by those navigating systemic barriers, homelessness, and substance use. These experiences have strengthened my belief in the importance of helping those who are vulnerable and our marginalized communities.
As a former Board Member of the Sedona Area Homeless Alliance, I worked to advocate for the unhoused population. As the founder of FLIP (Families with Loved Ones In Prison), I encouraged change, and offered a safe space for the support of those directly affected by the incarceration of a friend or loved one.
Today, I proudly serve as a Board Member of Cochise Harm Reduction, and serving the community in which I live. I believe that anything is possible when treated with compassion, respect, and kindness.
