She is currently a founding board member for Caring For Denver Foundation, and is the recipient of several awards, including those she is most proud of—the 9 News “9 Who Care” and 2008 NAMI Colorado “Heroes in the Fight”—for advocacy and creating changes in the mental health/criminal justice system.
