When I left foster care, I knew I wanted to give back to the world, to help others pursue their biggest dreams and believe in themselves. But before I could truly help others, I knew I had to help myself. Deep down, I carried a sense of disconnection and battled PTSD, anxiety, depression, and isolation. Yet even in my darkest moments, something within me refused to give up. I stopped waiting for a light at the end of the tunnel and chose to become my own light. I turned my pain into purpose, achieved goals I once thought were impossible, and rebuilt myself from the inside out. Today, I help others do the same, to discover their inner light, rise above their circumstances, and step boldly into the life they once dreamed of creating.
