What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I fulfill training and workforce development needs with a focus on the South Carolina Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Initiative. I lead our train-the-trainer workshops and create professional development and peer networking opportunities for trainers. I am also a facilitator for Empower Action coalitions and assists with the biennial Building Hope for Children Conference.
My experience growing up as the only biological child in a foster family exposed me to the widespread issues of child abuse and neglect. It was this experience that led me to pursue a career in the nonprofit sector, especially in support of child welfare.
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
South Carolina
