Experience, perspective, and purpose.

My lived experience showed me that exploitation does not always resemble the version of trafficking the public is taught to recognize. That understanding shapes the questions I ask and the work I pursue.

My focus includes human trafficking, coercive control, digital coercion, technology-facilitated exploitation, and the challenges survivors encounter when seeking recognition, support, and opportunity.

Through advocacy and education, I bring attention to experiences that are often overlooked and encourage more thoughtful responses to exploitation. I value clear communication, careful questions, and a willingness to examine assumptions.

Lived experience is expertise. Survivors bring knowledge that can inform research, education, policy, technology, and program development.

I advocate for meaningful opportunities for survivors to participate in leadership and decision-making. Their involvement should include influence over the work, respect for their boundaries, and recognition of their professional contributions.

Technology is an integral part of my work. I work with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript while expanding my knowledge of cybersecurity, digital investigations, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and digital forensics.

I educate others about digital coercion: how technology can be used to monitor, pressure, threaten, or control someone. This understanding informs my technical learning and my advocacy around technology-facilitated exploitation and survivor safety.

My work spans survivor leadership, anti-trafficking advocacy, public speaking, and education. Alongside this work, I continue to develop my technical skills and explore how cybersecurity and digital investigations can support survivor-informed responses.
