Personal Growth Journey
"The path to success often involves confronting familiar people and places, overcoming past behaviors, and breaking old habits to achieve a stable and fulfilling life.
At Program RED, we are committed to empowering individuals transitioning from incarceration by equipping them with the essential tools and support needed to navigate supervision systems, strengthen life and family skills, and enhance employment readiness. By addressing these critical areas, we strive to reduce recidivism and promote successful reintegration into the community."

I have worked with the reentry population for over a decade, serving in various capacities that reflect both my professional expertise and personal journey. My roles have included Inpatient and Intensive Outpatient Substance Misuse Counselor, Co-Occurring Therapist, Medication-Assisted Treatment Specialist, Reentry and Transition Life Coach, Employment Readiness Specialist, and Reentry Housing Director — just to name a few.
As a two-time convicted felon, I understand firsthand the challenges of rebuilding a life after incarceration. I wasn't aware of any programs that could help me make the necessary changes for a successful and meaningful future. It was during one of the lowest points in my life that I recognized the need for transformation.
I made a conscious decision to Rebuild my life, Empower myself to grow beyond my past, and Develop a plan for the future I deserved. That journey has required hard work, sacrifice, and commitment — and it continues to this day.
I believe that success breeds desire, and I wake up every day with the desire to not only succeed but to help others do the same.

At Program R.E.D., we recognize that reducing recidivism requires a comprehensive, holistic approach. We focus on addressing key areas that often contribute to cycles of incarceration, including anxiety and depression, substance use disorders, employment readiness, family and life skills, stable housing, effective navigation of supervision systems, and successful reintegration into the community — all supported by increased awareness of available community resources.
We believe that when this work begins prior to release and continues with consistent support post-release, individuals are far more likely to succeed. Our goal is to provide the tools, guidance, and encouragement needed to break the cycle and build a sustainable, meaningful future.
