We’re honored to introduce Mandy, a dedicated member of the Wichita Area Sexual Assault Center’s Board of Directors and Associate General Counsel for Textron Financial Corporation.
Mandy’s connection to WASAC’s mission is deeply personal. As a survivor of sexual assault, she understands how important it is to have a safe place to turn and someone to call during one of the most difficult moments of your life.
“I used the services of a similar organization when it happened to me. I wanted to help ensure that other survivors have access to the same support, compassion, and resources that helped me through my own experience.”
What Mandy values most about WASAC is its commitment to meeting survivors wherever they are in their healing journey—without judgment or pressure.
She also hopes more people will recognize that the effects of sexual violence do not end when the immediate crisis is over. Trauma can change how someone experiences trust, safety, relationships, and everyday situations. Healing takes time, and survivors deserve consistent support, understanding, and care for as long as they need it.
What keeps Mandy hopeful is seeing the difference that compassion can make:
“When survivors know they are safe, supported, and not alone, healing becomes possible.”
Outside of WASAC and her legal career, Mandy enjoys running, participating in CrossFit Wichita, volunteering, traveling, and occasionally finding herself on an aviation adventure.
Her message to anyone considering supporting WASAC is simple: every act of support matters. Whether you donate, volunteer, raise awareness, or share information about available resources, you are helping ensure survivors in our community always have a safe place to turn.
When asked to describe WASAC in one word, Mandy chose Safe.
Thank you, Mandy, for sharing your story and using your voice, leadership, and compassion to help other survivors feel believed, supported, and never alone.
