What is something you’re proud of and why?

I am proud to have finished college early and completed South Dakota’s law enforcement training process.

What is your personal and professional journey that led you to Call to Freedom?

I graduated from SDSU with a criminology degree.  After I graduated, I worked for the South Dakota Highway Patrol as a State Trooper before learning about Call to Freedom.  I have always been passionate about helping others and after learning about Call to Freedom’s mission, it felt like the perfect fit!

What kinds of projects are you most excited to work on at Call to Freedom?

I am most excited to work on projects that help survivors in rural areas get the support they need, especially by building local connections and making services easier to reach.

Why do you believe in the mission of Call to Freedom?

I believe in Call to Freedom’s mission because everyone deserves safety, support, and hope.  Call to Freedom brings wholeness to individuals in their healing journey and helps bring restoration.  This mission is something I am very proud to be a part of.

How do you think your position at Call to Freedom is important to the mission?

I think this position is important to the mission because our rural communities often do not have the same access to resources and this position allows victims to be supported no matter where they are located.
