My rise from victim/survivor to victim advocate in 1983, was a journey that I wish would never have begun and the years since Patrick's murder have not changed those wishes. In my biography I present a brief outline of this transition that both defines and explains my journey and rise to the status of Victim Advocate. I also share my writings, that define and explain many of my theories and philosophies on victimization. It is my wish to enlighten, not to scare you. I pray that my efforts will smooth your journey through the treacherous world as a Victim / Survivor of Violent Crime.
