I’m not the same person I was when I was 17—and I work every day to prove that.

I believe in second chances, not just as an idea but as a responsibility. That means facing the past with honesty, taking full ownership of the harm caused, and putting in the work to make things right. No shortcuts, no self-pity—just steady effort.

Over the years, I’ve found purpose in service: helping support children in Uganda, backing coral reef restoration, volunteering as a firefighter, and donating blood regularly. These acts don’t erase the past—but they’re part of building a life that gives more than it takes.

I write here not to tell a polished story, but to share an honest one. Redemption isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up again and again with humility, sincerity, and a willingness to grow.
