Speaking & education
Perspective that deepens understanding.
I bring lived experience and a survivor-informed perspective to conversations about human trafficking, coercive control, digital coercion, digital safety, and survivor leadership.
My approach
Clear communication. Thoughtful discussion.
My approach is direct, thoughtful, and grounded in respect for the complexity of survivors’ experiences. I make space for questions while challenging assumptions that can limit how exploitation is understood.
I make these conversations accessible to people with different levels of familiarity, while preserving the language and context needed to discuss them accurately.
My focus is on connecting awareness with reflection: what may be overlooked, how responses can improve, and where survivor expertise belongs in that process.
