I contribute by serving vulnerable individuals through hands-on volunteering and advocacy, from supporting survivors of trafficking and neglected older adults to helping homeless mothers and families with hospitalized children.
I’m driven by a deep conviction that every life holds value. This belief compels me to act when I see suffering from injustice, turning compassion into tangible service.
The problem is that there are fragile, forgotten, and dehumanized individuals suffering due to injustice, yet they depend on others to support and advocate for them. I aim to be that support and advocate, ensuring they receive dignity, safety, and compassionate support.
It gives me great joy to see how kindness can truly change someone else’s circumstances for the better.
My efforts create ripples, whether through policy change in D.C. or locally. I can see the gratitude from the people I’ve served, and I see how others are inspired to take action to help me help others.
I was a memory care caregiver and continue to create elder-care resources for at-home caregivers, including a book I published (Forget Me Not: Memories of a Memory Caregiver). I am an anti-trafficking advocate, leading anti-trafficking efforts at Rice University, across Houston, and even in D.C., as an International Justice Mission advocate and Restorative Care volunteer with Elijah Rising. I am also a volunteer with LifeHouse Houston, which supports pregnant mothers experiencing homelessness, and Ronald McDonald House, where I am a housewarmer for NICU families needing a place to stay. I do these things because I am driven by a conviction that every life holds value, which requires me to be a compassionate person, to support others in their times of suffering, and to ensure they receive dignity and have a path to achieve justice.
