Throughout my life, I’ve faced deep struggles that left me feeling hopeless, forgotten, and alone. I began abusing substances at the age of 12 with heroin becoming my drug of choice, and as an IV user battling BPD, PTSD, and homelessness, I often felt like there was no way out. I cycled through countless psychiatric and substance abuse centers that failed to address the root causes, focusing only on surface-level symptoms. After multiple overdoses, a moment of compassion from a nurse shifted something within me. Today, I am sober, housed, in school, working in the treatment field, and sponsoring women in recovery. These experiences have shaped who I am and fueled my passion to be part of the change our system desperately needs. Looking forward, my purpose is to help the youth find recovery, just as I did.
