Free2Hope Inc.

Victimized as a young child, I was told I was to blame for what happened. That set off something in my mind. Whenever something negative happened to me, it was my fault. Abuse followed throughout childhood and early adulthood, including several traumatic assaults. I always felt marked. It was years before I gave up my rights to be the "victim" and decided to become a leader instead. 

I noticed many other women suffering the effects of sexual abuse, exploitation, and human trafficking, and I decided to help. Now, I devote energy to finding new approaches to prevent human trafficking and other sex crimes against women and children throughout our state.

Ultimately, we want to help victims begin their journey toward health and wholeness. In 2013, I founded Free2Hope Inc., a non-profit devoted to educating and exposing human trafficking through outreach, equipping local businesses, and enabling a safe place through Free2Hope's Victimized Women's Drop-in Center. We genuinely want to be there for the ladies like no one was for us.
