What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
Currently, my goal is to bring ACEs and trauma informed approaches to my local community. In 2017, I retired from the Bureau of ATF, Department of Justice. As the former Wellness Program Manager, I had incorporated ACEs into the stress, trauma, suicide, and resiliency curriculum. It was necessary to inform on the full scope of trauma so that the law enforcement officers could understand, embrace, and heal from past trauma and be more resilient throughout their careers. Now I want very much to introduce and facilitate ACEs awareness across sectors within my local community. I look forward to the collaboration. Thank you for this extraordinary community!
