Throughout my career, I have developed a strong commitment to protecting vulnerable populations, particularly in the areas of human trafficking and child sex trafficking.
In addition to fieldwork, I serve as a law enforcement instructor and field training officer, roles in which I’ve had the opportunity to train and mentor both new and seasoned officers. I am passionate about advancing investigative practices through education, with an emphasis on trauma-informed approaches and victim-centered strategies.
My goal is to elevate the standard of response to complex and sensitive cases by equipping law enforcement professionals with the knowledge, tools, and mindset needed to serve with integrity, empathy and effectiveness.

I spent seven years in tribal advocacy, centering Native voices, values, and culturally grounded healing—experience that continues to shape my approach today.
Now, as a co-founder of Butterfly Effect Training & Consulting, I work with first responders and agencies to improve coordinated, trauma-informed responses to domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and related harms. My background as a Tribal Court Legal Advocate allows me to bring real-world insight into the challenges professionals face in high-impact situations.
My work is rooted in practical application, cultural awareness, and a commitment to strengthening both systems and the people within them. I believe meaningful change happens when we combine knowledge, collaboration, and compassion to create safer, more effective responses.
