I’m simply a small person with a rather large personality and a die-hard mission to shift the perception of individuals with substance use disorders, so that we as a society can offer the compassion and resources that I needed during my harrowing years of substance use. This partnership hits close to home for me, because I am alive and thriving today as a direct result of the collaborative efforts of law enforcement, first responders, and the court systems.
