2013 My first public speaking engagement came at the First Annual Homeless Summit a community action partnership, called Tableland. 2013-2016 I joined the Somerset County Flag Committee in 2013 and have been joyfully volunteering since. I designed our corporate logo and offered marketing strategies to increase our membership. I helped design, plant, and upkeep the sites floral beauty for the past three summers and was secretary for two years. Go to www.wpsu.org to view Penn States, “its Our Town, Somerset,” we were part of a series, which aired on October 22, 2015. I volunteered my time and artistic talents painting the Committee Mascot, which took first place at the county fair in acrylics in both 2013 and 2014 (with 2 separate paintings). Our Betty Boop mascot can be seen at on the Somerset Flag Committee face book page. Our web address is www.somersetflag.org

2004-2005 Volunteered at The Next Step Center helping to bring encouragement to homeless individuals and families. 2004-2005, 2014-2016 Volunteered at Somerset’s local food bank helping prepare and distribute food orders for the food bank as well as the Christmas toy distribution. 2008-2010 Student Minister at Church of the Living Word in Garrett, Pa 2013-2014 I was a student of “SOZO” healing ministry training, relative to helping trauma victims heal spiritually. I volunteered on the church’s cleaning team, provided childcare, and was a Sunday school teacher and ran an after school Christian program on Wednesdays where kids could come enjoy crafts, playing in the game room, snacks, and fun while learning. I was able to help a young girl who confided in me that her father raped her and I led one troubled pre-teen to give his heart to the Lord. 2010-2016 I wrote two books advocating against and exposing the ‘Human Trafficking’ underworld. Book 1 is being edited for upcoming release. I have been invited to share my expertise in a series of interviews, covering all aspects of the sex trade. It will be airing on YouTube. I have public speaking engagements advocating against domestic violence, sex trafficking and discussing the impact of crime on the victims.

VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE 1999-2003 Volunteer social worker, working with various state, county and non-profit organizations in the community. My principal focus was Crisis Intervention for at risk elderly, children, families, and homeless who were literally living on the streets. My accumulated experience resulted in my creating four comprehensive data referral binders, which proved to be valuable in its effectiveness in the cases I managed, consisting of taking a person and or family from their crisis to the fulfillment of their needs such as life sustaining medical intervention, mental health services, drug rehabilitation programs, shelter, and food. The success of my data resource bank continues to be a priceless and valuable asset aiding my associates in Maricopa County social service and churches in expediting their cases. My experiences afforded me the opportunity to attain vast working knowledge in all areas of social concern.
