She advocates for veterans in various capacities, from lifting homeless veterans off the streets and providing shelter, to assisting them in transitioning into meaningful, financially secure jobs.
In her role as Executive Director at ClearPath Mortgage Solutions, she ensures that active-duty members and veterans have access to housing solutions tailored to their unique needs. As Executive Director of Community Relations at the Veterans Miracle Center, she has transformed the lives of over 25,000 individuals by connecting them to essential services and support.
