At the heart of my professional ethos lies a commitment to fostering resiliency and driving change within communities. As the Executive Director at Lakes Area Restorative Justice Project, I leverage my educational pursuits in Criminal Justice and Leadership and Management from Rasmussen University, to innovate restorative justice practices. My role as a Deacon at Heritage Church and a Central Minnesota ChangeMaker reflects my core competencies in community engagement and motivational speaking. Together with my team, we channel the energy derived from self-discovery into actionable strategies that empower individuals and shape a more equitable future and fulfilling my personal motto: "Restoring Hope and Cultivating Community".
