Some people get overlooked until it is too late. I work to change that, through education that helps people notice sooner, and through real support for survivors once they are seen.
Most of what goes viral about trafficking is fear, not fact. The grab in the parking lot, the panic, the shares. It spreads quickly and helps no one. My work is the quieter, truer version: clear, factual awareness that opens people’s eyes to what is really happening and shows them how to support others.
I have always been passionate about setting people free from physical bondage. For a long time I just did not know how. Now I am finding my path, and it starts with awareness.
I am also drawn to public policy, because that is where the deeper change happens. Systems can be altered and revised, and perpetrators stopped, when the right people push for it. I am completing a Master's in International Relations and Diplomacy, and that is the direction I am growing in.
Clear, honest information that helps people spot the signs early, without fear or panic.
Practical resources for the people closest to those at risk, so they know what to look for.
Talks for schools, communities, and faith groups that inform rather than frighten.
Working toward the systems change that stops perpetrators, not just the symptoms.
Standing with those affected, and connecting them to the help they need.
My work lives in projects. Here is what is live now, and what is on the way.
A North America focused initiative that gives voice to the missing and the trafficked through education, story, and community. Founded and built from the ground up.

Trafficking survives by staying hidden in plain sight.
