“I have always been fascinated by the human mind, and how it vastly differentiates across all individuals. While the field of Criminal Justice often prioritizes future outcomes, I’m intrigued by the factors influencing a person’s path leading up to the event itself. I’m driven to explore the root causes of criminal behavior and to understand the personal experiences that contribute to it. Getting to support children and their families with an educational, psychiatric, and law enforcement-based perspective is an experience unique to Prevent 2 Protect. It is this diverse approach that ensures that those most vulnerable receive the meaningful support they truly deserve.”
