From the horrors of addiction and personal turmoil to a beacon of hope and change, my journey is a testament to resilience and transformation. Over two decades the grip of substance

abuse dictated and destroyed my world; resulting in life-altering encounters with tragedy. This forced me into a crossroads: throw the towel in, or fight till the death for a better life. Choosing the latter, I embarked on a path of recovery and renewal.

Seven years removed from rehab and six years with my children by my side, I've not only reclaimed my life but have also completed a law degree. Now, I find joy in the simple pleasures, like taking my family out on the boat, and the normalcy of life. Yet, beneath this tranquility lies a fierce determination to advocate for people navigating the complexities of addiction, institutionalization, and the legal system.

With a unique perspective forged through personal trials and a legal education, I'm dedicated to infiltrate the legal world and force change. My lived experiences, unteachable in any university, equip me to bring a new voice to the legal world; the voice of a girl from the hood who’s hopeful to sit on the High Court.
