Lia is the Prevention Program Coordinator at the Children’s Advocacy Center of Suffolk County. Building on her prior role as the SEEN Program Assistant at the CAC, she now works within the Training and Outreach Program leading community outreach initiatives, facilitating workshops, and co-leading the expansion of Stop, Block, Talk—an online safety program for youth, caregivers, and professionals created in partnership with the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office. She holds a Master of Science in Criminology and Criminal Justice from Northeastern University and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Legal Studies from the University of Pittsburgh.

Lia leverages her deep understanding of exploitation dynamics, her background leading youth programming with DC's Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services, and her political event coordination experience to execute key campaign initiatives for the CAC and partner organizations. Bringing a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, she is grateful to continue working alongside a dedicated team committed to protecting youth from online exploitation and abuse.

In her free time, she enjoys baking, cooking, crocheting, traveling, and exploring all the wonderful experiences Boston has to offer.
