Hello I am a 49 ur old mother and grandmother who chose the wrong path early in life. I am finally making my dream reality to work with juveniles that are in the criminal justice system, who have experienced trauma in their life due to parental addiction and/or incarceration. My passion is children with incarcerated parents and the lack of assistance for them. I am deeply involved in research and writing to develop a plan to assist them, as well as their caregivers, in Indiana. I also plan on starting my own dog rescue training business and eventually teaching the juveniles how to train dogs, pair them with a dog and create a purpose out of two discarded beings.
