MY WORK & EXPERIENCE
I’m passionate about civil sexual assault work because it’s a way to hold others accountable for their wrongful actions. It is also a way for survivors to share their stories about what they’ve been through and how they’ve been impacted, in a way they’re unable to in the criminal system.
