Royal Hearts Foundation of America was born from my lived experience and my commitment to ensure that no child feels unseen, unheard, or unsupported.

At the age of five, I experienced sexual abuse, and before the age of twelve, I endured repeated violations of my safety and trust. Those early years were marked by confusion, silence, and pain. For a long time, I believed justice meant punishment, and I once planned to become an attorney to hold perpetrators accountable.

However, during my second year of college, an internship at a clinic changed the trajectory of my life. I discovered that my calling was not only to pursue justice in a courtroom, but to help people heal from trauma. I changed my major to Psychology and committed myself to understanding the brain, behavior, and the healing process.

After earning my degree and later completing two Master’s degrees from Liberty University, I began working with children facing behavioral challenges and adults living with mental illness. Over time, I encountered countless young girls who had experienced abuse in their homes. What troubled me deeply was that many of them received little guidance, follow-up, or support from the systems designed to protect them.

I realized that survivors are often retraumatized — not only by what happened to them, but by the silence and inaction that follows. I also recognized that many parents, carrying their own unresolved trauma, feel unprepared to protect their children. Prevention requires awareness, education, and courage.

From that conviction, Royal Hearts Foundation of America was born.

Today, I dedicate my life to training communities to prevent abuse, advocating for survivors, equipping parents with protective tools, and helping victims move from trauma to purpose. What was once a source of pain has become the foundation of my mission: to ensure that healing is possible, protection is proactive, and survivors know they are not alone.
