She left her boarding school 6 months after she turned 18, then spent the next decade struggling with complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder from her experiences before committing herself to start healing from the trauma of the Troubled Teen Industry. She now lives near Salt Lake City, UT with her husband, two children, and two Great Pyrenees/Border Collies.
She does karaoke with friends on weekends. She enjoys doing anything creative. Some of her favorite creative activities are drawing, painting, scrapbooking, crocheting, photography, and writing.

She currently does activism work regarding survivors of the Troubled Teen Industry. She started a Discord channel in 2022 for survivors that now has over 150 members. She is the Project Manager and Graphic Designer for the podcast, Surviving Abuse Podcast and designed the logo for that platform (pictured above).
