What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I am a certified facilitator in the Building Strong Brains Tennessee initiative as well as Darkness to Light's Stewards of Children. I became interested in ACEs research in graduate school in the early 2000s working first for a neuropsychologist who focused on executive functioning in preschool aged children and then as a therapist for sexually abused children. While my work presently focuses on preventing one specific ACE (child sexual abuse), I frequently incorporate current ACEs research and applications into my work.
