I am a Dream Beyond Bars Fellow with CURYJ and an advocate with Youth Impact Partnership, dedicated to ending youth homelessness and transforming the justice system. Having navigated foster care, homelessness, and incarceration as both a youth and an adult, I now use my lived experience to drive legislative reform and advocate for the resources our community actually needs.
Beyond my policy work, I am a graduate of the Working Class People’s Development Institute and a former certified welder with a background in structural steel and fabrication. I also volunteer at Club Dandelion, a nonprofit that provides birthday gifts and resources to orphaned and system-impacted youth. I’m a firm believer in the power of youth-led movements and am here to ensure the next generation doesn't have to face the same hurdles I did.
