What is it you do for a living? (Parenting, volunteering, CEO of social service organization, etc.)
I am a Prevention Specialist for Eckerd Connects and teach life skills, anti-violence, and substance abuse prevention in at risk elementary schools. I am also a parent educator and work with women in transition coaching them on parenting practices, safe discipline, child development, and trauma informed parenting.
What organization(s) do you volunteer or work for?
Eckerd Connects and Eastern Florida State College
What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I first learned about ACE's in 2013 when I was working as a preschool director. At that time I felt very energized by Dr. Felitti's work and knew that somehow, someway, and someday I wanted to work more closely with it. I transitioned to my current roles just within the last year and I am so excited to finally be part of the work that is so vital to healing our communities.
