I'm the Founder/Executive Director of Caring with Compassion Community, a “Peer Run” non-profit serving marginalized community members who experience trauma supporting their wellness journey. I have devoted my career to helping empower individuals most vulnerable, helping break the cycle of discrimination through providing person center, trauma-informed approaches, culturally appropriate care services, and petitioning for laws to be changed in Washington state.

Through economic empowerment supporting entrepreneurs who are “Black Indigenous People of Color” (BIPOC), and people with disabilities accessing business resources, and technical assistance. I provide consultation and expertise to individuals with disabilities, their families, caregivers, health care providers, business community, and the public focusing on awareness of appropriate resources and services supporting inclusion, diversity, employment, cost-effective resources, quality of life, safety, and maximizing independence.I dealt with chronic health issues, survived natural disasters (including Hurricane Katrina), and was a caregiver to my mother, until her transition. I learned how to navigate "Systems of Care" and use my voice to ensure quality services. I advocate and work collaboratively with various healthcare disciplines, to ensure "quality care" and appropriate services are maximized to accomplish health goals.Through my unique combination of "lived personal experience" and professional training and expertise, I'm passionate and a respected advocate for serving the most vulnerable with compassion, as well as empowering individuals, recognizing abilities, and taking holistic, "person-centered care" to become knowledgeable about disabilities.
