Roxanne LAMpton
Program Specialist
“Too many students and communities are forced to navigate heavy challenges without the proper resources. My mission is to bridge that gap and equip communities with practical tools and language that empowers them to process stress and navigate life’s heaviest environments with confidence. When we meet people where they are and teach them the language, tools, and support they have been missing, we can completely reframe what is possible for their future.”
Superpower of Choice
If Roxanne could choose one superpower, it would be the ability to instantly instill a sense of belonging in others, especially when they are navigating transitions or moments of self-doubt. She would use this power to help individuals recognize that their unique experiences, even the challenging ones, are valuable pieces of a larger story.
