TRANSFORMING SYSTEMS, ELIMINATING BARRIERSÂ
Reducing Recidivism and Opening Doors for SUCCESSÂ Beyond the SECOND SENTENCE
When individuals return to society after incarceration, they often face an invisible "Second Sentence"—a set of barriers that limit opportunities and potential. But this doesn't have to be their future.
I’ve dedicated my career to creating strategies that go beyond individual support, focusing on system-wide solutions that reduce recidivism, empower returning citizens, and reform societal structures. Through evidence-based consulting and strategic advocacy, I work with organizations, governments, and communities to eliminate the barriers that prevent success.
My mission is not just to give returning citizens a hand up but to transform the systems that hold them back. I use my personal experience and expertise to guide organizations, businesses, and communities in creating opportunities for those who deserve a second chance—so that every returning citizen can realize their potential and contribute meaningfully to society.

"Twelve years ago, I was physically released from prison—but true freedom took much longer."
After my release, I found a job at a logistics company, earning just above minimum wage with over $20,000 in restitution to pay. Despite working hard, I felt trapped, like I was spinning my wheels. It wasn’t until eight years later that I realized I had only left the physical prison behind. Mentally, I was still shackled by the stigma and barriers placed on me by society—the “Second Sentence” that so many face.
Through my journey, I became committed to something bigger than just my own success. I dedicated myself to creating systemic change, not just for myself, but for others like me who are seeking more than just physical freedom. My mission is to help individuals and organizations break down these barriers so returning citizens can become truly free—both mentally and in society.
