Everyone deserves safety, dignity, and clarity when facing domestic violence. Many individuals feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure of where to begin, especially when navigating unfamiliar laws and processes. As part of our mission to build stronger, safer communities, SERA Smart Villages created SERAPHIN—a confidential, compassionate digital assistant designed to help you understand domestic violence laws and available protection options in Georgia. SERAPHIN provides clear, reliable information so you can make informed decisions, seek help with confidence, and take the next steps toward safety and support.
Every child deserves the chance to thrive—mentally, emotionally, and socially.
SERA Smart Villages, in collaboration with the Mental Health Initiatives Rotary Action Group (District 6960), is leading a groundbreaking mental health initiative aimed at integrating early detection tools into Georgia’s Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), where thousands of children from underserved communities receive their primary care.
Youth mental health challenges are skyrocketing. Georgia ranks among the top states for youth suicide, yet many families lack access to timely care. Pediatricians, often the only regular point of contact, are not equipped with tools for early screening.
The barriers:
Mental health screenings aren’t standard during check-ups
Families often miss early signs or fear the stigma
Shortage of mental health professionals in rural areas
We’re building a tech-enabled mental health screening app that integrates directly into routine pediatric wellness visits. Our system:
✅ Screens children confidentially during appointments
✅ Instantly provides pediatricians with actionable reports
✅ Offers coping tools and self-regulation techniques for mild cases
✅ Flags serious symptoms and recommends next steps or referrals
✅ Includes a digital dashboard to track follow-up and progress
“Early detection can save lives. Our goal is to move mental health upstream—starting at the check-up.”
In Phase 1, we aim to:
Launch in 4 FQHC clinics across Georgia
Reach 10,000+ children and families
Train 40+ pediatricians and clinic staff
Build community and school-based awareness
This model is designed to scale statewide & nationally.

Lead Volunteers
At SERA Trust, I served as a Technical Volunteer and Web Developer, spearheading the end-to-end redesign and modernization of the nonprofit’s online presence. I led a small team of volunteers, managed timelines, and coordinated weekly deliverables to ensure consistent progress and collaboration.
My work included building and launching a fully responsive WordPress website with custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, improving usability and accessibility across devices. I designed interactive features such as photo sliders, auto-galleries, and infographics to visually communicate impact stories and Sustainable Development Goals.
To support engagement and fundraising, I developed the organization’s first digital donation system with QR codes and secure payment integration, and I implemented a volunteer onboarding workflow using Google Forms. I also built an AI-powered chatbot to handle common inquiries, reducing manual support load.
Beyond technical development, I contributed to branding and content design, standardized the website’s look and feel, and introduced analytics tracking to monitor user behavior. I also trained new volunteers, wrote step-by-step documentation, and mentored peers on web customization and maintenance, ensuring long-term sustainability of the platform.
Through this work, I helped SERA Trust strengthen its digital identity, expand community outreach, and build a scalable foundation for future nonprofit initiatives.
