Experience
President & CEO
Dec 2009 — Present
I founded and lead Grateful Girls, a Wisconsin-based social service agency dedicated to advocating for, housing, mentoring, and counseling young women escaping human trafficking. Since 2014, I have created over 200 jobs in the community, hiring mentors, counselors, and facilitators to support our mission. I also developed and launched Stay Off the Game 101, an annual human trafficking awareness and prevention conference that has educated over youth ages 11–18 over the past nine years.Through strategic recruitment efforts, I have expanded our programs by hiring facilitators, mentors, and self-defense instructors to enhance support services. Additionally, I have spearheaded advocacy and awareness initiatives, positioning Grateful Girls as a leading resource in anti-human trafficking efforts throughout Wisconsin. My passion lies in empowering and protecting vulnerable youth while fostering long-term community impact.Key Skills: Business Development | Operations Management | Talent & Event Planning | Childcare Administration | Workforce Development
