I'm a mother of three, living in long-term recovery from substance use and mental health challenges. My journey has led me to become a passionate advocate for justice, equity, and compassion for those walking their own paths to recovery. I've spent years working alongside community groups, peer networks, and public health partners to create more inclusive, supportive spaces for healing. I'm a Certified Personal Medicine Coach because I believe recovery is deeply personal. Traditional systems often overlook the wisdom and resilience that people carry within themselves. Through Personal Medicine, I help individuals rediscover the practices, passions, and values that keep them well-because healing isn't just about services; it's about meaning, identity, and connection. This approach speaks to my heart and reflects the very path that helped me reclaim my own life. In addition to being a Personal Medicine Coach, I'm a Certified Peer Recovery Supporter, Peer Support Supervisor, Community Health Worker, Ohio Prevention Specialist Assistant, and CDCA II. I've served as a panel expert for Buckeye SCOPE, contributed to initiatives like Deflection ECHO and EMPOWER, and previously led peer support services at Good Samaritan Hospital and with Quick Response Teams in Hamilton County and Colerain Township. Today, I work as a Health Coordinator at Hamilton County Public Health, where I develop and implement community-based programs that support individuals affected by substance use. I'm also the Founder and Executive Director of On the Front Lines Community Alliance, a peer-run recovery organization that supports more than 300 professionals through mentorship, training, advocacy, and connection. Everything I do-personally and professionally-is grounded in the belief that people deserve to be seen, heard, and empowered. Recovery isn't just possible-it's powerful. And I'm here to help others discover that power in themselves.
