I am a survivor of domestic violence. My abuse started off as subtle verbal abuse until, as in many domestic violence situations, it escalated into financial, sexual, and finally physical abuse.Speaking publicly on the issue to bring awareness and promote prevention has been my path to healing. I first started speaking to empower victims, and quickly came to realize the need for a larger scale outreach and developed the idea that a two-fold presentation model would serve the community better. By adding an outreach component designed to support awareness and prevention I could impact a more varied audience with my message.

With everything going on in the world, we need to be equipping young adults with the tools to see red flags and identify possible dangerous situations. With real life examples on how to handle the situation correctly and safely, I use humor, role playing and audience involvement to takes my presentation to the next level.
