I’m honored to serve as executive director of the very organization that saved my life back in 2018. My passion stems from my own experience with addiction and homelessness. I believe that we cannot solve the homelessness crisis without healing the root causes first, creating connections, then housing. I am a passionate relationship builder with a heart for personal development and community. Portland is experiencing the worst loneliness epidemic in history. Isolation fuels addiction, crime and homelessness. Here at CityTeam Portland, we are creating communities of people who are healing and learning from one another. Through our inclusive programs, individuals are given a chance to heal, reinvent themselves, and carry what they have learned into society, creating a ripple effect of change.
