I am a survivor of domestic violence turned advocate and founder of a non profit organization called Stand Up Survivor. We seek to educated the community about domestic violence as well as work with survivors of domestic violence and their children.
After many years in an abusive marriage I was able to find the strength to leave with my two children and whatever I could fit in my car. I went back to school got my BS, my MS and am a doctoral candidate whose research focuses on domestic violence.

I advocate for survivors and journey with them through their situation regardless of where they are in their relationship.
