"I am so grateful to become Co-Executive Director of Affirming Heart Victim Services, working alongside Zelma Lopez. Our team here is truly amazing, showing up every day with kindness and dedication to help survivors. They work hard to listen, support, and guide people through some of the hardest times. Every program we offer, from counseling to crisis response, shines because of their efforts and commitment to our mission.
With Zelma, I’m excited to keep growing and improving our services to help even more people in our community.
Our team’s dedication gives hope and strength to those who come to us for support, and it’s an honor to work with such inspiring people.
I can’t wait to see all the good we will continue to do together for those who need it most."

I truly believe that without them, Affirming Heart Victim Services and all of our amazing programs wouldn't shine as brightly as they do. They are the heart and soul of what we stand for. It's an honor to work alongside this remarkable group, and I want the community to know just how much we value and cherish every single member of our team."
