Experience, perspective, and purpose.

I am a survivor of human trafficking and exploitation. My experience included coercive control, abuse, and technology-facilitated exploitation, alongside other methods of control and forms of trafficking that are often overlooked or misunderstood.

After leaving exploitation, I rebuilt my life while navigating systems survivors rely on for recognition, safety, support, and justice.

Those experiences shape my work: recognizing trafficking beyond stereotypes, addressing technology’s role in exploitation, strengthening survivor-informed responses, and advancing survivor leadership.

My work draws on lived experience, education, and professional development. I bring these perspectives to public education and professional conversations, recognizing that no single survivor’s experience represents everyone.

My approach centers clear communication, respect for boundaries, and survivors’ authority over their own experiences.

My technical development focuses on cybersecurity, digital investigations, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and digital forensics. My experience informs how I approach these fields, with attention to digital coercion and survivor safety.
