Long‑Term Goals
My long‑term vision is grounded in empowerment, personal growth, and community connection. I am developing a practice that integrates creative expression, community engagement, and lived‑experience leadership to support individuals who have been deeply affected by life’s challenges. I am also in the process of refining my memoir — From Dim to Dawn. I Am Who I Am — a symbolic, non‑linear exploration of resilience, identity, and personal transformation.
My work includes:
- Designing inclusive, supportive environments through visual communication, guided practices, and community‑centered programming
- Creating outreach materials and creative tools that help individuals feel acknowledged, encouraged, and connected
- Expanding my public speaking and advocacy efforts, particularly in schools, community spaces, and harm‑reduction settings
- Assisting individuals navigating housing programs and systems, ensuring they receive clear information and respectful engagement
- Bridging lived experience with policy and program development, helping organizations understand what meaningful, on‑the‑ground support looks like
In addition to my ongoing volunteer initiatives, I am actively seeking employment opportunities that align with my values and allow me to expand this work in a professional capacity. I am committed to contributing my skills, creativity, and experience to organizations dedicated to community well‑being, equity, and positive social impact.
Ultimately, my goal is to contribute to spaces where people can reconnect with their stories, their strength, and their sense of possibility — just as I have done in my own life.
