A Life of Words & Purpose
For over three decades, I've dedicated myself to advocacy, compassion, and community service. From executive director roles at shelters to founding non-profit enterprises, my journey has been guided by a simple belief: we must care for our fellow human beings. Now, through my writing and handcrafted creations, I continue to share stories that matter and items made with heart.
