Tell us about your journey coming into the anti-trafficking field and with The WellHouse.
While completing my undergraduate degree, I became aware of and educated on the issue of human trafficking. My passion for the anti-trafficking field began with raising awareness, outreach programs, and educating others on countering human trafficking. As I grew more knowledgeable, I felt called to more than just awareness and chose to specify my focus towards helping survivors of trafficking in hopes of helping make a tangible difference. Almost a decade ago, I came to know of The WellHouse through their work, and envisioned one day being able to work alongside them in any capacity. Now, orchestrated as only God can, here I am!
How has working at The WellHouse impacted your life?
Working at The WellHouse has impacted how I view the Lord’s daily provision and restoration. The way in which He consistently makes Himself known through staff and residents is a constant reassurance that, despite circumstances that occur in life, He is faithful–with us on the mountaintop and in the fire.
