I have been named Social Worker of the Year (2024) and Advocate of the Year (2018) for the state of Florida, because I put in work. I grew up in Pensacola, Florida, a place that’s shaped my understanding of community and the power of collective action. With divorced parents and not always being the most economically stable, I was raised by a village, one that instilled in me the values of resilience and solidarity. These early experiences ignited my passion for social work and advocacy, leading me to earn a Master’s in Social Work from the University of West Florida, where I honed my skills in providing support and resilience to individuals navigating trauma. The glaring inequalities and systemic issues I saw around me couldn't be ignored. Working as a trauma therapist and crisis counselor for many years, I’ve seen firsthand the impact of policies on mental health and overall well-being. This experience has fueled my determination to fight for change at a legislative level.
The births of my two sons, Dante and Nickolas were pivotal moments that propelled me into being hands on to create a better future for the people of our state. The issues that drive me to seek political change are deeply personal and community-centered. I am tired of politics being a reality television show and seek to be a true representative for all people and not just a few.- Hope:
Invest in education and our educators
Advocate for the right to clean water and sustainable policies that protect our planet - Healing: • Champion greater investment in opioid crisis initiatives • Promote collaborative mental health initiatives
- Healthcare for All. Simple, expand medicaid, include dental and mental health. This will not only impact citizens individually but effect our economy, work force and public safety.
I have personally seen how a community can be strengthened when citizens have barriers to healthcare removed. We have cut reimbursement rates to our Community Health Centers, forcing them to cut services and close locations.
