I'm focused on rebuilding my life and helping others do the same. After my release, I've been working hard to find stable employment in construction and connect with others who understand the challenges of reentry. I believe in the power of community support and want to give back by sharing my experiences and offering encouragement to those just starting their journey.

My Story

After serving 5 years, I was released in January 2024 with nothing but determination to rebuild my life. The first few months were incredibly challenging - finding housing, employment, and rebuilding relationships seemed impossible. Through community support and programs like Vegas Stronger, I was able to secure transitional housing and eventually find work in construction. Now I want to help others navigate these same challenges.
