I am a certified peer specialist in Florida and a social work student with a 4.0 GPA, dedicated to helping others overcome life’s toughest challenges. With nearly 12 years in recovery, I have transformed my life, breaking generational cycles and raising seven children. My journey hasn’t been easy—I faced pancreatitis, depression, and navigated the foster care system to reunite with my daughter. I also overcame domestic violence after a 15-year marriage and fought to have charges expunged. Despite having no support system, I rebuilt my life by changing my environment, habits, and mindset. Now, I use my lived experience to support others, including helping a former manager seek sobriety, and I’m here to offer guidance to those facing addiction, PTSD, grief, or trauma.
