As a lifelong resident of the Pacific Northwest I have witnessed the housing landscape struggle to meet the ever-growing need for affordability. With 8 years of dedicated engagement with individuals impacted by homelessness, I've cultivated expertise in providing direct assistance and coordinating comprehensive services for those facing housing instability. Presently, I'm deeply immersed in fostering housing programs tailored to the needs of low-income singles, families, and survivors of homelessness. My focus lies in offering specialized support to survivors of domestic violence/sexual assault (DV/SA), chronic homelessness, individuals affected by incarceration, and those grappling with substance use disorders (SUD) and/or mental and behavioral health challenges. My passion for this work comes from my own experiences grappling with housing instability throughout my life and a drive to create accessibility to essential needs for all.
