Kim’s story was rewritten with much triumph and victory. She suffered and endured a traumatic childhood experiencing sexual, mental, emotional, verbal, and physical abuse as well as being in and out of the foster care system in her adolescent years. As a teenager she became a runaway, and as a result, was placed in several residential facilities until she aged out of the system and encountered homelessness. It was then that she met her first “Romeo” pimp who groomed her for three weeks before he started trafficking her. This would lead to nearly six brutal and unimaginable years of being sexually abused, exploited, and trafficked. Kim suffered from PTSD, depression, anxiety, RAD and many more mental health illnesses that ultimately led to drug abuse and feeling utterly hopeless that her life was of any worth or value and that change would ever be possible. 

Kim has been able to use her expertise, knowledge and lived experiences to assist FBI and local law enforcement with cases, advocacy within the Judicial system, DCF and many more. She serves our local state foster homes by volunteering her time with the youth. She currently serves on 5 local human trafficking boards and serves as an Advisory Leader. Kim has over 120+ Human Trafficking (HT) / Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) training hours and several certifications for her local work within the community. She has completed two years of Bible College and obtained a certificate in ministry and now her passion is to fight human trafficking while serving with organizations with the same mission. Kim is currently employed at More Too Life / Voices for Florida and working full time as a Survivor-Mentor in the field mentoring, educating and advocating for HT and CSEC youth ages 10-24.
