Ophelia began her work with AFSC New Hampshire on January 4, 2022. A New Hampshire resident for more than 20 years, Ophelia brings her life experiences and passion to this new role: “I want to build connections among people who have experienced the criminal legal system, and to nurture hope and faith that together we can build the world that we want.”

Ophelia sees this work as an opportunity to prepare herself for a career in law and community organizing. She is an artist, singer and model, and she has a deep desire to help people find their own path of joy and purpose. She loves reading and helping others, and she sustains a regular practice of meditation to keep herself grounded in peace and positivity.
