Empowering Survivors through Education and legislative Efforts
Through my journey of being a survivor to advocate, I have learned that I have the skills to help people, from all professional backgrounds, understand victimization in simple terms. It was during helping KY to solve their backlog of rape kits, that I found myself meeting with legislators, law enforcement, prosecutors, advocates, and Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners. I was able to build bridges between parties to see these are human bills and policies. 2017 US Dept of Justice Award 2016 KY Award
