/ About me

I may not have all the answers, but I’m a firm believer in resilience!

  • I know what it means to face challenges. Growing up in foster care shaped who I am today. Now, as a nationally acclaimed inspirational speaker, I use my experience to empower to break the cycle, overcome challenges, and builid resilience. Let's turn curveballs into home runs!

  • Entering the foster care system at 2 months old wasn't the start I envisioned. By 8, I had already bounced around 12 different homes. Despite these challenges, I found stability through education. I graduated high school and went on to excel at Long Beach State, running track and earning my Criminal Justice Degree.

  • Growing up in the foster care system taught me the importance of resilience at a young age. Now, as an inspirational speaker, I share the tools and strategies I've learned to help others build their own inner strength. Together, we can turn life's curveballs into home runs!
