I am committed to educating, training, advocating, and collaborating for social justice through my faith and harm reduction. I have a long and determined history of effectively working with some of the district’s most prominent health service providers. I have motivated hundreds of individuals to advocate for those whom the stigma of HIV and substance use disorder has silenced. I believe that TOGETHER, we can build a healthier community.
