Yvonne's journey in victim advocacy began 20+ years ago when she began as a volunteer at WSLB in their youth program. Through her work with children and listening to their experiences with domestic violence, Yvonne grew a profound desire to influence the family's lives positively. Yvonne dedicated 18 years of passionate work in a DV shelter setting. By expanding her knowledge and collaborating with organizations like The Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, Yvonne could provide safety tools to the victims by assisting them with the restraining order process. To this day, she continues working to assist with soft legal aid support; this has helped her continue making an impact not just in families but also in the community.

She is well versed in crisis intervention, trauma-informed care, and legal procedures, ensuring that those she supports receive the care and guidance they deserve during their healing journey.
As a Victim Advocate, Yvonne is known for establishing a solid rapport with survivors, creating a safe and trusting environment where they can share their experiences and feelings without judgment. She collaborates with law enforcement, social services, and healthcare professionals to ensure survivors receive the comprehensive care they require.
