What is it you do for a living? (Parenting, volunteering, CEO of social service organization, etc.)
Coordinator of MCCC's Trauma-Informed Care Technical Assistance Center (TICTAC), which includes the ACE Interface, Inc. Training Program for the state of Minnesota
What organization(s) do you volunteer or work for?
Minnesota Communities Caring for Children (MCCC)
What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I am interested in empowering individuals and communities through education about ACEs (and neurobiology and resilience) in order to heal our adult population and prevent ACEs from occurring in future generations of Minnesotans. I also want to work with systems to create trauma-informed environments where all children and families receive the support that they need to thrive.
Additionally, our state needs to address significant racial disparities in health and educational outcomes, and I believe that historical trauma and epigenetics is an important part of that conversation.
