"I watched my own mother get scammed — that loss stayed with me. That's why this work matters."
For over 25 years I've seen how confusion and scams slowly erode people's confidence and independence online. My work focuses on long-term prevention and practical skill-building — a kitchen-table approach where people learn without judgment and retain what they learn.
