I have been working as the Medical Assistant and Community Liaison at the Children’s Advocacy Center since July 2016. For the year prior to that, I was an intern at the CAC while finishing my degree at SOU.

I have absolutely loved my time at the CAC, both as an intern and as a staff member. I truly believe that we are here making a difference in every child’s life that walks through our doors. Being able to be part of an organization like the CAC and the valuable community partners we rely on every day has shown me the importance of believing children and how when we do, great things can be done. This community should be extremely grateful to have so many people working to help and protect children every day.

I am leaving the CAC to go to graduate school to get my Masters in Social Work. I am eager to further my education and continue creating safe spaces for children to heal from trauma and find the smoothest route possible through the criminal justice system.

Although I am sad to be leaving, I am excited for my new journey and to hear about the continued life-saving work done in Jackson County.
