NORD Ambassador
As the Maine Ambassador for the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), I am passionate about helping bring visibility, advocacy, education, and community support to individuals and families impacted by rare diseases and invisible illnesses.
Through this ambassadorship, I work to help connect people to resources, encourage community involvement, support statewide awareness efforts, and advocate for stronger support systems for those navigating complex medical journeys that are often misunderstood or unseen.
One of my goals is to continue growing awareness and connection throughout Maine while helping individuals and families feel less isolated in their experiences. Advocacy starts with conversation, visibility, and community — and I’m honored to use my platform to help amplify those voices.

Victoria’s Voice & Beauty For Good
I am honored to use my platform to help raise awareness surrounding mental health, substance abuse prevention, grief, healing, and the importance of community support.
Victoria’s Voice was founded to create change through education, advocacy, awareness, and open conversation surrounding addiction and the impact it has on individuals, families, and communities across the country.
This mission is deeply personal to me. Through both personal experience and advocacy work, I understand how important it is for people to feel seen, supported, educated, and connected to resources without shame or judgment.
As part of my involvement with Beauty For Good, I hope to continue creating conversations that encourage healing, compassion, awareness, and support while helping break the stigma surrounding mental health and addiction. Whether through fundraising initiatives, community events, awareness campaigns, speaking opportunities, or collaborative partnerships, I believe that every conversation and every effort has the ability to create meaningful impact.
No one should ever feel alone in what they are navigating — and sometimes simply knowing someone cares can change everything.

The Compassionate Leadership Project
As an Ambassador for The Compassionate Leadership Project, I am passionate about helping create conversations centered around empathy, emotional intelligence, resilience, leadership, and the importance of human connection.
In a world that often feels overwhelming, disconnected, and fast-paced, I believe compassionate leadership matters more than ever — not just within organizations and communities, but within our everyday lives and relationships.
This mission aligns deeply with both my personal experiences and the work I continue to build through Invisibly Empowered. Whether through advocacy, education, coaching, public speaking, or community involvement, I believe true leadership begins with understanding, authenticity, and the willingness to create safe spaces for others to feel seen and heard.
The Compassionate Leadership Project encourages individuals to lead with kindness while also recognizing the importance of mental wellness, self-awareness, communication, and support systems within our communities.
As an ambassador, I hope to continue helping amplify conversations that inspire people to lead with compassion both personally and professionally while encouraging healthier, more connected communities.
