About me

My greatest passion lies in assisting others. As a mother, and the wife of a firefighter, my perspective enables me to grasp the challenges faced by first responders and their loved ones. In 2014, when my husband, a firefighter, received a diagnosis of cumulative PTSD, I gained firsthand insight into the profound impact of mental health challenges on individuals and their families. This personal journey drives my strong commitment to actively contribute to this vital cause. Witnessing my family’s struggle with PTSD has motivated me to take proactive measures to engage with and support the community.
