What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I’ve worked at organizations delivering social services to trauma-affected populations for most of my career. The ACEs framework has deepened my understanding of how trauma functions and enabled me to serve both my employers’ missions and their beneficiaries more effectively. I believe that the public narrative around ACEs has the potential to make an impact on communities around the world and I’m doing what I can to support it. As an individual who has faced ACEs I feel a significant connection to this work.
