My journey with ASF began as a client in 2020. I successfully graduated from the program in 2025. Currently, I am using my experience to serve as a group co-facilitator.
I firmly believe that everyone deserves a second chance, regardless of their past. We all have the capacity to learn from our mistakes and move forward. Living in the truth is a core pillar of ASF, and it is a principle that helps me live a better life every day.
My background is in EMS and Fire, where helping people was my entire focus. Since I can no longer work in that field, I have found new ways to fulfill that passion here at ASF. To further this work, I am currently working on obtaining my certification as a Peer Support Specialist through the California Department of Health.
Outside of my work here, my hobbies include woodworking, fishing, and teaching CPR and First Aid to my community. I look forward to continuing to help others through this role.
